Fresno Grizzlies News Release
El Paso, Texas - The Fresno Tacos (43-40) celebrated a 7-4 victory over the El Paso Margaritas (50-32) Sunday evening from Southwest University Park. Fresno won their third straight game and improved to 9-4 on Sunday affairs (4-2 on the road). The Tacos offense sizzled for 11 hits with three going for extra-bases.
Yadiel Hernandez started the party with a three-run clout in the top of the first. It was his squad-leading 18th big fly of the season. Hernandez also tied his career-high in longballs while in the United States (18 in 124 contests last year between Triple-A Syracuse and Double-A Harrisburg). Jose Marmolejos and Carter Kieboom added two hits and one RBI each for Fresno. Marmolejos lengthened the club-high hit streak to 15 games.
El Paso swatted two dingers in the fourth inning. Aderlin Rodriguez and Matthew Batten were the recipients of the wallops. Batten notched an inside-the-park homer, his fourth of the 2019 campaign. Tacos righty J.J. Hoover (3-1) received the decision after a season-high six innings. He punched out eight. Dakota Bacus mustered his fifth save after a 1-2-3 ninth frame. Dillon Overton (3-4) was shelled the loss for the Margaritas.
