ROUND ROCK, Texas -

HOW IT HAPPENED:

In the bottom of the second, Round Rock 3B Richie Martin and C Cooper Johnson got aboard with back-to-back base hits. The two advanced on RF Kellen Strahm's groundout then CF Dustin Harris drove both runners in with a single through the right side. 2B Justin Foscue belted a double on the next pitch and the Chupacabras had a 3-0 lead.

Chupacabras LF Trevor Hauver opened the fifth with a leadoff walk and moved to second on 1B Abimelec Ortiz's groundout. A wild pitch from LHP Helcris Olivárez sent Hauver to third and SS Michael Helman recorded a sacrifice fly to left. Hauver came home, extending the Round Rock lead to 4-0.

Round Rock's pitching staff of RHP Cory Abbott, LHP Robby Ahlstrom and LHP Jacob Latz did not allow a runner to reach third base while issuing two walks and striking out six batters. The Chupacabras clinched the series with a 4-0 win on Saturday night.
