Broncos hurt Dillas via the long ball

The Broncos can now claim a two-game winning streak after defeating Amarillo 6-3 on Thursday.

I'm not quite sure if this is good, but the Broncos went back to playing long ball against the Dillas as four of the runs came courtesy of homers.

Ben Tinius hit a two-run shot, and Luany Sanchez and newcomer Matt Imwalle also hit bombs.

It was Sanchez's 18th of the season as he still leads United League Baseball in that department.

It's good to see Imwalle having a quick impact. He had an outstanding debut, also tallying a RBI double and sacrifice RBI.

Manager Dan Shwam had been longing for RBI guys. Imwalle with three RBIs in his debut? Not bad at all.

Richard Bartlett got back on the winning side of things, and David Watkins earned his first save of the season.

The Broncos scored six runs on seven hits - hooray for efficiency!! - as the Dillas scored three runs on nine hits.

The two clubs will continue their three-game series today with Game 2 slated for a 7:05 start time.

The Broncos are now (32-35) and move up on Edinburg (29-35), which was idle Thursday and will be again tonight.

In other ULB action tonight, the Colts surprisingly fell to Harlingen
