Broncos lose 15th in a row, fall to 0-9 in Edinburg

The Broncos fell to 0-9 in Edinburg as they lost to the Roadrunners, 5-3, at Edinburg Baseball Stadium on Thursday.

But that’s not even their worst streak. It was the 15th consecutive lost for the Gateway Gang as it fell to 21-48.

Edinburg improved to 39-30.

The Roadrunners grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning.

Carlos Hereaud hit a RBI single, and then he scored on a throwing error by the Broncos’ Jaime Morales.

Vincent Blue added another RBI single moments later.

Edinburg added to its lead in the second on Hunter Owen’s bases-loaded walk.

The Broncos scored two runs in the fourth to cut their deficit in half off Luis Ugueto’s two-run double.

Edinburg added another run in the sixth on Hector Garanzuay’s groundout RBI, and it would be more than enough.

The Broncos managed just one more run the rest of the way, on Morales’ RBI single in the eighth.

Broncos starter Will Palmer left the game after six innings of work.

He gave up five runs, two of which were earned, on 11 hits.

He walked four batters and struck out one.

The Broncos scored three runs on six hits and had two errors, while the Roadrunners scored five runs on 12 hits and had two errors.

Game 2 of the four-game series is Friday in Edinburg. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
