Laredo pushed its advantage to 3-0 in the second on Jaime Morales’ RBI double.
After Osiel Flores drilled a RBI double in the second to cut Edinburg’s deficit to two runs, the Broncos got the run back in the third on Luany Sanchez’s RBI single.

The Roadrunners tied the game in the fifth off Vincent Blue’s sacrifice fly.
Broncos starter Will Palmer was taken out of the game after five innings.

On his second pitch, Gracesqui threw a wild ball, and Carlos Hereaud scored on the play for the walk-off win for Edinburg.
