Albuquerque Isotopes News Release
El Paso, TX - The Chihuahuas' Kyle Martin's roped a one-out, walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning to beat the Isotopes, 3-2, Friday night at Southwest University Park.
Offensively Albuquerque tallied six hits, one homer and one double.
Kyle Holder went 1-for-4 with a solo homer while Bret Boswell recorded two hits, including the double, and one RBI. The Isotopes went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base.
Zach Neal started for the Isotopes and did not factor into the decision. He tossed 4.0 innings and allowed two runs on six hits, one homer and two walks while fanning two.
Zach Lee was charged with the loss after surrendering the winning run in the ninth.
The Isotopes took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on Holder's second clout of the year, a solo shot. El Paso, however, tied it up in the home half behind a Martin dinger.
Albuquerque then retook the lead in the top of the fourth when Boswell banged an RBI double off the wall in left field. Once again, the Chihuahuas tied it up in the bottom part of the frame, this time on a Hinojosa RBI single.
No runs were scored between the fifth and eighth innings.
