Coyotes Win One-Hitter

Edinburg Coyotes pitchers Ryan Harris and Julio Castro combined to one-hit the Alexandria Aces Friday night in a United League contest. Harris allowed Alexandria CF Keto Anderson a single in the third inning, the only hit of the night for the Aces.

In the fourth, Alexandria scored an unearned run without a hit. The fifth inning saw Aces DH Trey Beamon reach base on a error by Coyotes 3B Jose Olmeda. Olmeda commited his second error of the inning when his throwing error allowed 3B Luis Espinosa to reach base and Beamon to advance to third. Beamon scored when C Ryan Smith grounded out.

After getting out of the inning with no further damage, Harris saw his team's defense stiffen. He pitched three perfect innings before turning the game over to Castro in the ninth. A perfect 9th by Castro gave Harris his 7th win and Castro his 2nd save. It was Castro's first appearance in three weeks, after being sidelined with a shoulder injury.
