Consider nothing forgotten.
The Broncos again fell on Saturday night, overcoming a seven-run to deficit to pull within three before Amarillo claimed a 8-5 win to win the best-of-three series, 2-1.
The Broncos (32-37) return to Veterans tonight to start a three-game stand against Alexandria.
Lefty Sean Donlin (2-4) was tagged with the loss, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
He walked four and struck out nine.
The Dillas drilled two more homers, making it six in the last two games. They held an 8-1 lead in the sixth and never looked back, tallying eight runs on eight hits to the Broncos' five runs on 10 hits.
Righty reliever Mickey Callaway pitched solid in relief, surrendering one run in 2 2/3 innings. He had pitched two inning during his previous two appearances, walking three and striking out two.
As soon as I get a box score from tonight's game, I'll update with his line.
The bad news is the road does not get easier. The Broncos host the Aces, the league's No. 1 team, by the way, get a three-game breather in Harlingen, and then ready for a pivotal six-game homestand against San Angelo and Amarillo.
I talked last night of how the Broncos' biggest concern from their 22-11 debacle on Friday was how they'd respond.
And while fighting hard back from a seven-run deficit is always noble, only a win could have truly put Friday behind them.
The bus ride back to Laredo could not have been a pleasant one.
