Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings News Release


HARLINGEN - Behind a big six-run third inning, the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings defeated the McAllen Thunder 7-3 at Harlingen Field on Friday night.

Tied 1-1 after two innings of play, the WhiteWings' (43-30) bats came alive in the third against the Thunder (30-44), registering seven hits and six runs.

The big six-run third inning provided all the offense needed to secure the win. Wilmer Pino led off the big inning with his 11th homerun of the year, giving the WhiteWings a 2-1 lead. From there, the next seven WhiteWings batters reached base, as five more runs crossed the plate to give the WhiteWings a 7-1 lead.

All six runs in the inning came against McAllen starting pitcher Alien Mora (1-4, 7.43 ERA), who is charged with the loss.

The six run cushion was all starting pitcher Alexander Concepcion and the WhiteWings needed to get into the win column. Concepcion (8-4, 5.00 ERA), allowed three runs in six innings, getting the win.

The WhiteWings take on the McAllen Thunder on a Saturday night doubleheader at Harlingen Field for games two and three of the series. Start time for the first game is scheduled for 5:05 PM.

Starting pitcher Eric Blackwell (7-3, 3.22 ERA) is expected to take the mound for the WhiteWings.
