San Angelo Colts News Release
San Angelo, TX - Starter David Cross pitched six innings of two-run ball in leading the Rio Grande Valley White Wings to a 7-2 victory over the San Angelo Colts on Tuesday night at Foster Field.
The White Wings broke out on top in the first inning on a solo homer by shortstop Yeurys Tejeda (3), before second baseman Mark Ramos would tie
the game in the third for San Angelo on an RBI single.
However, Rio Grande Valley would take control of the game in the fifth by plating four runs.
The scoring started on an RBI double by first baseman Joel Roa, which gave the White Wings a 2-1 lead.
The lead extended to two on an RBI double by centerfielder Javis Diaz before an RBI groundout by leftfielder Kevin Griffin made the score 4-1.
Rio Grande Valley would complete the scoring on a RBI double by catcher Luany Sanchez to give the White Wings a 5-1 advantage.
Adam Hale tried to get the Colts back into it by blasting a solo homer in the sixth, his seventh of the year, to cut the deficit to three, but Rio Grande Valley was too much as second baseman Eric Gonzalez would single in two runs in the seventh to give the White Wings their biggest lead of the game at 7-2.
From there, the Rio Grande Valley bullpen would shut down the Colts' offense the rest of the way en route to the victory.
