The Broncos had one poor inning on Thursday night. But it cost them.
The Broncos were defeated 10-2 by Alexandria after surrendering eight runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game was tied 2-2 heading into the inning.
The Broncos fell to 21-22 and is out of contention for a first-half playoff berth.
Left-hander Sean Donlin (1-2) had his second straight subpar outing. He was tagged with the loss.
Broncos Manager Dan Shwam and Luany Sanchez were both ejected in the third inning for arguing after Sanchez was called out on strikes.
Alexis Sosa (5-2) got the win. Laredo's Santiago Guerrero drilled his fourth home run of the season, a solo blast that gave Laredo a 1-0 lead in the second inning.
Here is the full, detailed game report from the Broncos' website.
With the win, Alexandria improved to 24-18 and remains in the race for second place.
Also hurting the Broncos' chances was San Angelo's 5-4 win over Amarillo on Thursday. Here's a detailed game report from the Colts' website.
Amarillo remains in first place in United League Baseball as San Angelo stayed in second. The Colts are 25-18, a half-game ahead of Alexandria for second place.
Amarillo is 26-16, 1 1/2 games ahead of San Angelo and, in all likelihood, the league's top club heading into the second half of the season.
And finally, in a battle of the league's worst clubs, Edinburg outlasted Harlingen, 12-4, on Thursday. Here's the game report.
So with the first half of the season concluding on Saturday, here's a look at the standings heading into today's action. Remember, the top two clubs following the first half of the season clinch a playoff spot and have home-field advantage in the playoffs.
