The Broncos nipped the San Angelo Colts in a thriller on Thursday night, claiming a 5-4 win in the 10th inning before a crowd of 971 at Veterans Field.
It was the third consecutive win for the Broncos (7-14), as the Colts, who are in first place in United League Baseball, fell to 14-7.
Game two of the four-game series is slated for tonight at Veterans Field. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
The Colts jumped out to the early lead in the top of the second inning, leading 1-0 after Hunter Jobes’ sacrifice fly.
The lead was extended in the third to 3-0 on Ronnie Gaines’ RBI single and Jason Landreth’s sacrifice fly.
But the Broncos would counter in the fourth when Miguel Ortiz scored to make it 3-1.
The Colts tacked on another run in the seventh inning on Jason Diaz’s RBI double, setting up a late rally from the Broncos.
In the eighth, Mario Mendez and Argelis Nunez each drilled RBI singles to cut the team’s deficit to one.
That set the stage for O.J. Garza, who then tied the game with a chopper to first base that eluded the fielder.
In the 10th, it was Robert Moron’s time to play hero, as the wily veteran’s sacrifice fly scored the fourth, and final, run for the Broncos in the final three innings of play.
Broncos starter Ryan Harris was tagged with the no-decision, after seven innings of work.
He gave up four runs – one earned – on eight hits and struck out one and walked one.
Tristan Crawford (2-1) came on in the 10th, after a strong performance in relief by Julio Pinto, to secure the win.
