Broncos to make up canceled game with doubleheader today

The first game of a four-game series between the Laredo Broncos and Coastal Bend Thunder at Veterans Field was suspended due to rain on Friday night.

The teams will make up the game in a doubleheader tonight, starting at 6:05 p.m.
Friday’s game was stopped in the middle of the first inning, with the Thunder leading 8-0.

The game will pick up where it left off and be played for a full nine innings tonight.

The second game of the doubleheader will start about 30 minutes after the first game’s completion and be a seven-inning game due to United League Baseball stipulations about doubleheaders.

The Broncos are the last-place team in the league with a 22-54 record.

The Thunder (36-39) is fighting for the fourth and final playoff spot with the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings (36-40), who were scheduled to face the first-place San Angelo Colts in San Angelo on Friday night.

Coastal Bend is coming off a four-game sweep of Laredo in Robstown earlier this week.
