El Paso Chihuahuas News Release
The El Paso Chihuahuas trailed Round Rock by one run in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs, two strikes and no baserunners before coming back to beat the Express 4-3. Nick Noonan doubled and Manuel Margot singled him home to tie the game. After Margot stole second base, Yangervis Solarte hit a ground ball single past third base to end it.
