Round Rock, TX - After suffering consecutive heartbreaking losses in dramatic fashion over the first two games of this series, the Albuquerque Isotopes were able to flip the script on Thursday night. With the contest tied 3-3 in the top of the ninth, Charlie Condon roped a one-out double off the wall in left, then scored on a two-out single by Adael Amador for a 4-3 lead. Andrew Baker struck out five batters in 2.0 hitless innings of relief, including three punchouts in the ninth to secure the victory.
