San Angelo Colts News Release


Edinburg, Texas---Roadrunners starting pitcher Aaron Guerra went the distance and the Edinburg bats broke out for a pair of four run innings as the Colts fell for the second straight night, 9-1, at Edinburg Baseball Stadium.

The Roadrunners scored four runs each in fourth and fifth innings. Robert Matlock delivered an RBI single in the fourth before a Colt error allowed two more runs to score. Gabe Memmert then doubled to bring in the fourth run of the inning.

In the fifth the damage was done with nobody out. Brandon Wilkerson, Antonio DeJesus and Stantrel Smith all reached to start the inning and R.J. Harris smacked a bases clearing double to left field that made it 7-0. After C.J. Beatty drove in Harris, he tried to tag and score on a fly ball to right field, but ran over Colts' catcher Trey Carter. Carter held onto the ball for the out, but had to leave the game.

Edinburg added a run in the sixth inning on a DeJesus double and San Angelo scored once in the top of the ninth on a Clay Calfee double to make it 9-1.

Guerra (6-6) earned the win after going nine innings and allowing an earned on eight hits with no walks and seven strikeouts. San Angelo starter Adam Kramer (3-3, 6.82) took the loss after allowing eight runs on seven hits in four plus innings, with one walk and three strikeouts.
