A sold-out Southwest University Park welcomed baseball back to the Sun City as the El Paso Chihuahuas took on the San Diego Padres March 31 in an exhibition match.
The game did not go the Chihuahuas’ way as they lost 13-9 to the Padres in a very close game.
“Fun, exciting, we put a good show for the fans,” Chihuahua’s field manager Rod Barajas said. “You saw a major league team and a Triple-A team with talent.”
The city of El Paso helped welcome the San Diego Padres with more than 10,000 in attendance.
“Not a better place you can play in the minor leagues,” Barajas said.
