The El Paso Chihuahuas entered the top of the seventh inning tied 2-2 and scored eleven late runs to win 13-2 Wednesday night over the Sugar Land Space Cowboys at Constellation Field. The Chihuahuas have won four straight games and seven of their last nine.

El Paso starter Victor Lizarraga allowed only one earned run in five innings in his second Triple-A start and has a 1.80 ERA through his first 10 Triple-A innings. Center fielder Tirso Ornelas went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in the top of the seventh, El Paso's eighth grand slam of the season and the first since Rodolfo Duran's on September 13 against Albuquerque. Second baseman Clay Dungan went 2-for-6 with a double, his fifth double in the last three games.

Designated hitter Luis Campusano went 2-for-5 with an RBI, moving his batting average to .337, one point ahead of Round Rock's Cody Freeman for first in the Pacific Coast League. With Tacoma's win over Oklahoma City Wednesday, the Chihuahuas have been eliminated from the PCL's second half playoff race.
