LAREDO, TX- The Edinburg Coyotes defeated the Laredo Broncos 9-5 on the night John Odom got his first start of the season.

Logan Wood led off the second inning with a double and later moved over to third on a ground out by Mayobanex Santana. After a two out walk by Amado German, Vince Moore called for a double steal. Logan Wood scored from third on an awkward slide to avoid the tag at the plate to give the Coyotes a 1-0 lead.

With runners on first and second, German got his second hit of the year to score Wood to push the lead for the Coyotes to 2-0.

In the fifth inning, Daryl Jones got aboard with a one out walk. Jones then moved to third after an error by Jose Salas. Wood drove in Jones with a sacrifice fly to put the score at 4-0. The Broncos finally got on the scoreboard in the seventh inning when Matt Lawman walked on four pitches then came around to score on an RBI double by Anthony Bennet.

The Broncos came back in the ninth inning with four runs on four hits. Dwayne White hit a three-run homer to tie the game at 5-5.

The Coyotes answered in the top of the next inning with four runs on three hits. Santana reached on an error and Gonzalez brought him in with an RBI double in the tenth inning. Arrowood then cleared the bases with a two run shot to give the Coyotes an 8-5 lead.
