Nine-Run Eighth Leads Chihuahuas to 12-3 Win Saturday
July 5, 2025 - Pacific Coast League (PCL)
El Paso Chihuahuas News Release
The El Paso Chihuahuas sent 13 batters to the plate in their nine-run top of the eighth inning Saturday night and beat the Albuquerque Isotopes 12-3. The nine runs fell one run shy of tying El Paso's record for runs in an inning. The score was 2-1 El Paso as late as the seventh.
Chihuahuas shortstop Clay Dungan went 2-for-3 with a double, triple, walk and two RBIs to move his on-base streak to 20 games. Second baseman Nate Mondou also had two hits. Catcher Rodolfo Duran went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a two-run single. Colorado Rockies Gold Glove-winning shortstop Ezequiel Tovar went 0-for-3 in his six-inning MLB Injury Rehab game.
Albuquerque designated hitter Drew Romo had to enter the game as the catcher, which lead to Albuquerque reliever Andrew Quezada getting an at-bat in the top of the eighth. The Chihuahuas have won three consecutive games and three of the first five games in the series.
