Chihuahuas rally in the eighth to win game one

The crowd was small and the deficit was large, two indicators of a less than positive night at Southwest University Park. But, the crowd was loud, the lead was short-lived, and as always the men in red and white made a game of it.

Spotting the Oklahoma City Dodgers five runs, the El Paso Chihuahuas put together another thrilling late-game rally. Scoring three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to win game one of the PCL Championship Series 7-5.

First basemen Diego Goris tied the game with a RBI single in the, followed by a Nick Noonan shallow fly ball to score Patrick Kivlehan from third.
