EDINBURG, Texas -- Even though it is still the regular season, you can feel the playoff atmosphere between the San Angelo Colts and the Edinburg Coyotes. Credit the Coyotes 4-1 victory to good situational hitting, as they left only four men on base Saturday after leaving 13 men on base on Friday.

After a scoreless first four innings and what seemed to be a pitchers duel, Edinburg would explode for three runs on three hits in the bottom of the fifth. San Angelo would fight back in the top of the fourth when J. J. Sherrill doubled to left field scoring Jason Crosland. The one Colt run in the sixth would be matched in the bottom half of the inning when Eddie Lara scored off of an Abigail Sandoval single.

John Fox (2-3, 6.59 ERA) would pick up his second win of the season, pitching six innings and allowing only one earned run. The rookie has appeared in nine games on the season, receiving the starting nod in seven. Fox is holding opponents to a .288 average, tossing 39 strikeouts in 42.2 innings of work.

Colts starter Yorkin Ferreras (4-6) would take the loss after giving up the three runs in the fifth. Kelly Casares would come on again in the ninth to pick up save number seven.

Game time is set for 7:05 on Sunday as Frank James (2-2) of the Colts takes on Edinburg probable Eric Montoya (10-5).
