Chihuahuas edge River Cats on a walk-off RBI

The Chihuahuas overcame early struggles as they edged out the Sacramento River Cats, 4-3, off a walk-off RBI single by shortstop Javy Guerra in front of 5,880 people at Southwest University Park.

The Chihuahuas did not allow a run until the fifth inning, when Sacramento’s Austin Slater hit a solo home run. He would later cost his team the game in the ninth inning.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Chihuahuas answered back by loading the bases. But it did not matter as they left all three batters on base.

Both teams went scoreless in the sixth inning, but in the seventh, both teams decided to let their bats do the talking.
