Notes and bits on an early Tuesday afternoon

Here's my game story of last night's 10-6 loss.

In other ULB news, we find out the Colts are undefeated on Mondays following their 12-11 win over Harlingen last night.

Amarillo and Edinburg will play a doubleheader today to make up for yesterday's lost game due to rain.

The Coyotes have about five games to make up and the Broncos are starting to get concerned about whether or not they will.

With such a brittle lead on Edinburg for the fourth and final playoff spot, Broncos GM Jose Melendez called the league yesterday to see when the Coyotes would be making up the games.

The scare is that they might not, and instead the league would award them five wins. That's not unreasonable seeing as how the league already botched Alexandria's chances of home field advantage even though it finished as one of the top two teams in the first half.

Instead, San Angelo was awarded the second spot due to having greater attendance.

Nice line of reasoning there.

Either way, the Broncos can take care of business by just winning and gaining more and more ground on Edinburg with each passing day.

A win tonight would be HUGE. It would mean a series win as they head into a three-game set against lowly Harlingen starting Wednesday in the Valley so the opportunity for a four-game winning streak - and getting within a game of .500 heading into their three-game home set against San Angelo on Saturday - is right at their doorstep.
