Chihuahuas prevail in extra innings

After a disappointing doubleheader culminating in home losses on Sunday, the El Paso Chihuahuas fought their way out of an early deficit to top the Reno Aces in extra innings. Both teams split the series 2-2.

Chihuahuas pitcher Matt Magill got off to a rough start by allowing four hits in the first inning, enabling the visitors to score two runs.

The Chihuahuas offense showed signs of life in the second inning when Magill hit a single followed by Center Fielder Franchy Cordero and Shortstop Jose Rondon. However, Aces Left Fielder Zach Borenstein proved to be a headache for the Chihuahuas stopping their momentum.
