San Angelo Colts News Release
San Angelo, Texas---Brian Nichols hit two home runs and drove in four runs as the Colts topped the McAllen Thunder 13-5 on the last Miller Lite Thirsty Thursday of the season at Foster Field.
San Angelo's offense never really stopped, as it scored runs in five of the first six innings including five home runs. Mark Ramos (9) hit a two-run home run in the second inning to make it 3-0 Colts. Ramos would finish the game after he reached the half-century mark in runs batted in.
The killer inning for Colts bats came in the fourth. After Ramos singled in Davis Page, Ronnie Gaines walked and C.J. Beatty (15) blasted a three-run home run. Cory Patton (24) followed with a shot of his own to break a tie for second place in the North American League with Gaines and one out later Brian Nichols (6) got into the act with a moonshot to straight away centerfield.
Nichols (7) got in on the act once more in the sixth inning when he launched a ball into the Thunder's right field bullpen to make it 13-5 San Angelo.
San Angelo starter Adam Kramer (4-3, 6.89) earned the win after he allowed five earned runs on three hits in six innings pitched. McAllen starting pitcher Alien Mora (1-5, 7.95) took the loss after he gave up five earned runs on six hits in three innings of work.
