Thanks to a four-run third, the El Paso Chihuahuas (25-25) defeated the Fresno Grizzlies (29-21) 4-3 Saturday night from Chukchansi Park. El Paso starter Miguel Diaz set the tone with four shutout frames, allowing one hit, four walks and striking out four. Then, he gave way to T.J. Weir (2-0, win), Jonathan Aroand Robert Stock who closed the door with five innings and six punchouts.
The Chihuahuas leaped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the third when Auston Bousfield (2-for-4) lined a two-run single to right field. He would score on a single by Luis Urias. After an error allowed Urias to get to third, a sacrifice fly by Brett Nicholas made it 4-0.
