After piling up 24 hits Thursday, the Aviators bats went cold in the first of a three game series against El Paso. Eight Aviators had multiple hits in last night's 14-3 victory over Shreveport, but Friday night only Grant Richardson, who was 2 for 4, had more than one.

El Paso was lead by first baseman Walter Olmstead who went 3 for 4 with a run scored. In the top of the fourth inning, the Diablos used 4 singles, 2 sacrifice flies, and an Aviator error to score 4 times and lead 5-0. They tallied 11 hits as only one starter finished the night without a hit.
