In the bottom half of the third Cameron McGuire hit a 3-run home run to give the Roadrunners (31-27) the 3-1 advantage.

Hunter Owen extended Edinburg's lead in the bottom of the fifth with an RBI single to left field that drove in Carlos Hereaud from second to put the Roadrunners up 4-1.

Laredo cut the lead in half in the top of the eighth with an RBI single by Ugueto that allowed Ryan Flynn to score from second and Kelly Casares pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save of the season giving Edinburg their seventh straight win 4-2.
