San Angelo, Texas---The Colts make it five in a row, as they route McAllen Friday night at Foster Field 10-3.

Ronnie Gaines was back on track as he was a triple shy of the cycle. Gaines had two doubles on the evening (second and fifth innings), a homerun in the fourth, and a single in the seventh.
