MONDAY -- After having just finished a four-game set in Laredo, the Broncos and San Angelo Colts started another four-game series in West Texas on Monday.
After splitting their last series, the Colts won the opener of their latest set, 8-7, in 10 innings.
The Colts, who are in first place in United League Baseball, improved to 17-8. The Broncos, who are in last place, fell to 8-17.
The Colts scored six runs in the first inning, highlighted by Josh Collazo’s two-run single and Blake Shaffer’s RBI single.
Broncos stareter Tano Tijerina lasted just two-thirds of the inning, surrendering six runs – four earned – on two hits.
He walked three and struck out one.
Fortunately for the Broncos, that would be the worst of the Colts’ damage.
The Broncos got on the scoreboard in the second inning on O.J. Garza’s sacrifice fly, and then scored two more in the third when Ryan Flynn scored on a throwing error and Luany Sanchez followed with a RBI single.
The Colts tacked on another run in the third before the Broncos struck again, scoring three more runs in the fourth.
Garza scored on another San Angelo error and Miguel Ortiz drilled a two-run single to cut the Broncos’ deficit to one run.
The Broncos, however, came through when it mattered most and tied the game in the ninth inning on Luis Ugueto’s sacrifice fly.
But the strong rally would not last long.
The Broncos threatened in the 10th, putting two on with one out, before failing to capitalize on the opportunity.
San Angelo did, however.
In the Colts’ half of the frame, Shaffer’s game-winning double scored Hank Lanto to end things.
The Broncos scored seven runs on nine hits to the Colts’ eight on 10.

Glad to see Ryan Flynn playing. Hopefully, he will see more action.
