Fresno Grizzlies News Release
Fresno, California - The El Paso Chihuahuas (19-7) expanded their franchise-record win streak to 12 games Wednesday night, beating the Fresno Grizzlies (11-15) 4-2 from Chukchansi Park. A three-run top of the second was all El Paso needed to stay ahead of Fresno. Peter Van Gansen highlighted the inning with a two-run blast to right-center field. It was his second dinger of the year. While former Fresno Grizzly Chris Stewart recorded the other two RBI for the Chihuahuas.
Trailing 4-0 in the third, the Grizzlies notched a pair of runs. After a double by Taylor Gushue (7-game hit streak), Collin Cowgill knocked him in with a single to center. Then, Cowgill raced home following a double by Jake Noll. Fresno wouldn't score again despite loading the bases with no outs in the eighth. Reliever Robert Stock would strike out three straight Grizzlies to get out of the frame.
El Paso starter Logan Allen (2-1, win) cruised through six innings. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits while punching out seven. Grizzlies' righty Austin Voth (2-2) was tallied with the loss despite fanning four in five frames. Tyler Higgins reeled off his first save with a perfect ninth for the Chihuahuas.
