EDINBURG – The University of Texas-Pan American Broncs baseball team snapped a seven-game skid by beating the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders 11-1 in seven innings in game one of a doubleheader on Tuesday at Edinburg Baseball Stadium.

The Broncs added on in the fourth as, with the bases loaded and one out, redshirt junior Sharyland alum Alexis Hernandez recorded the first two RBI of his career with a single. Loncar followed with an RBI-single, sophomore Victor Garcia Jr. grounded out to drive-in a run, and Landon hit an RBI-single.
