El Paso Chihuahuas News Release
The Albuquerque Isotopes scored 10 runs in the top of the 10th inning Sunday afternoon at Southwest University Park and beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 19-12. The 10 runs were one short of the most runs allowed by the Chihuahuas in an inning (11 by Round Rock on May 22, 2016). Albuquerque won five of the six games on the Chihuahuas' first homestand of the season.
The Chihuahuas trailed 6-0 and 8-3 before coming back to go ahead with a seven-run bottom of the seventh. The rally included back-to-back home runs by Nick Solak and Rodolfo Duran, El Paso's first set of back-to-back homers since Tim Locastro and Yonathan Perlaza on September 14, 2025, also against Albuquerque. It was the second time in the series that El Paso took a lead after trailing by five or more runs.
Albuquerque left fielder Ryan Ritter went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run, extending his hitting streak to 28 Triple-A games, tying Mike Tauchman's team record. Sunday's loss for the Chihuahuas dropped their record to 1-3 in extra inning games, while Albuquerque advanced to 1-0.
