San Angelo, Texas --- The San Angelo Colts never trailed Wednesday night, as they defeated the McAllen Thunder 7-3 in game one of their four-game series at Foster Field.

In the first, third baseman Jordan Marks and second baseman Jon Dziomba both scored. Marks scored from first on Dziomba's RBI triple. First baseman Steve Rinaudo drove in Dziomba with an RBI ground out to third.
Marks gave the Colts a 3-0 lead in the second with an RBI single that scored shortstop Danny Hernandez. Hernandez reached base on a walk earlier in the inning.
Right fielder Dan Evatt blew the game open for San Angelo with a two-run homer in the third. It was his first home run of the season, and it scored designated hitter Kyle Nichols.
