The Broncos lost yet another game, falling 4-1 to Alexandria by stranding 14 men on base as right-hander Gregorio Martinez (4-1) got his first loss of the season.
Martinez pitched well, throwing six innings and surrendering four runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out eight. But the Broncos' offense, the team's lone strength throughout the first half of the ULB season, was non-existent.
Laredo scored its lone run on 10 hits. The run was courtesy of a solo blast from Steven Wright.
Alexandria was more efficient, scoring four runs on eight hits.
Here is the detailed game report from the Broncos' website.
The Broncos fell to 21-23 with one game remaining in the first half of their season. They are nowhere close to contending for a first-half playoff spot, and instead will have to look forward to finishing as one of two teams with a better overall winning percentage.
Alexandria improved to 25-18, a half-game behind San Angelo (26-18) for second place.
The Colts can clinch second place with a win on Saturday after defeating first-place Amarillo, 12-2, on Friday.
Amarillo (26-17) remains in first place by a half-game. If they win against San Angelo on Saturday, they clinch first place but San Angelo would still remain in second place with an Alexandria loss.
An Aces win and a Colts loss puts Alexandria in second place.
In other ULB action on Friday, last-place Harlingen fell to Edinburg, 3-1. Edinburg improved to 18-26 as Harlingen fell to 15-29.
