This one's a big one for Laredo. It's a series they cannot afford to drop if they intend to qualify for the ULB postseason once the first half of their season ends in 12 games.
The Broncos (17-16) sit a game and a half behind the Colts (19-15) for second place. San Angelo has won five of the first seven meetings against Laredo this season.
Newcomer right-hander Richard Bartlett is starting one the mound, and he'll have a tough task to get the Broncos in the direction of taking 2 of the 3 games.
Bartlett, who has yet to pitch this season, will be facing off against Billy McKinney, who is 0-1 with a 8.10 ERA in two appearances.
Out of the lineup tonight are Edgard Clemente and Arnoldo Ponce.
Clemente has a bum shoulder and will be evaluated on Friday. He is expected to miss, at least, this series.
Ponce reportedly has a quad injury suffered last night. His timetable for return is unknown.
In lighter news, outfielder Dwayne White is currently on a 22-game hitting streak.
Lineup for Laredo:
CF Steven Wright
LF Anthony Bennett
DH Dwayne White
C Luany Sanchez
RF Santiago Guerrero
1B Ben Tinius
3B Ivan Reyes
2B Matt Lawman
SS Eric Padilla
