San Angelo hit three homeruns in the inning when Vic Ferrante (3), Mark Ramos (8) and Ronnie Gaines (16) all homered. Clay Calfee's bases loaded clearing double and an RBI single by Trey Carter accounted for all the rest of the runs and San Angelo led 8-0. The next inning the Roadrunners scored three on an RBI singles by Osiel Flores who drove in one and Robert Matlock who drove in two, which made the score 8-3.
The score remained that way until the eighth when San Angelo scored four more, the first on a Daryl Jones solo homerun. The homerun his 25th of the year, tied the Colts single season homerun record shared by both Jason Crosland who did it last season and Guy Giuffre. Trey Carter triple also drove in two and the Colts were up 12-3. The Roadrunners scored three in the bottom of the inning an RBI single by R.J. Harris and two errors and it was 12-6. San Angelo added one in the ninth on an infield pop up that turned in a Clay Calfee double that drove in another, his fourth RBI of the night; as the Colts went on to win 13-6. Chandler Barnard went six innings, allowing three runs, while striking out seven to pick up his 8th win of the year.
