Edinburg Roadrunners News Release


AMARILLO, Texas---The Edinburg Roadrunners dropped three out of four games to the Amarillo Dillas after a 5-4 loss Friday night at the Amarillo National Bank Dilla Villa.

With the loss, Edinburg is now two games back of first place in the United League standings.

The Dillas (52-36) started the scoring in the bottom of the second inning. Alberto Cruz led off with a triple and then Rob Recuenco followed with a walk. Recuenco then stole second but the throw went into center field allowing Cruz to score giving Amarillo the 1-0 lead.

The Roadrunners (49-37) answered back in the top of the fourth against Ronald Lowe (7-4) when Daryl Jones hit an RBI double to right field allowing Felix Molina, who reached on an error to start the inning, to score tying the game at one.

Two errors by the Edinburg defense in the bottom of the fifth allowed Amarillo to score four runs against Wardell Starling (8-3) giving the Dillas the 5-1 lead.

In the top of the seventh, back-to-back singles by Wilson Batista and Carlos Hereaud put runners on for Eddie Wilson. After a passed ball allowed runners to move up an extra base, Wilson followed with a two-run double scoring Batista and Hereaud from second and third. Wilmer Pino then hit an RBI single scoring Wilson from third cutting the Dillas lead 5-4.

That would be all the scoring in the game as Amarillo's bullpen held Edinburg off of the score board. Cory Bass and Tyler Pearson combined to pitch a scoreless final two and a third innings to give the Dillas the 5-4 victory.

The Roadrunners head home for a three-game series against the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings starting Saturday night at Edinburg Baseball Stadium. Eric Montoya is expected to face David Cross with the first pitch scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
