Albuquerque, NM - The Isotopes blasted four homers-including a go-ahead two-run clout by Aaron Schunk in the bottom of the fifth inning-on their way to an 8-6 victory to claim the series finale Sunday afternoon at Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park.

Topes Scope:

-The Isotopes have tallied double-digit hits in six of their last seven games with 81 knocks during the stretch.
