Fort Worth Cats News Release
FORT WORTH--A rough start to begin the game lead to the Cats' demise as the Colts surged past Fort Worth, 9-3, Monday night at LaGrave Field.
San Angelo jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning, and never trailed. Catcher Salvador Paniagua and third baseman Landon Camp each had RBI doubles in the first. Paniagua's drove in two runs.
The Cats scored a run in both the second and third, but they were then held scoreless from the fourth all the way through the seventh inning. Colts' starter Mark Willinsky pitched just three innings, giving up two runs, one earned, on five hits for a no decision. Reliever Kyle Boggio (2-2) earned the win, tossing three shutout innings and striking out four.
