EL PASO, TX- The Diablos racked up 19 hits including a two-run home run by Jermy Acey and got six solid innings from right-hander Kevin Cooper (1-0) to beat the Sioux Falls Pheasants by a final of 13-7.
El Paso got the scoring started in the second inning. Zane Chavez and J.J Muse each knocked in runs in that frame to give El Paso an early 2-0 lead.
