El Paso Chihuahuas News Release


The Salt Lake Bees won 6-5 in El Paso Thursday and in the process stopped the Chihuahuas from their first ever nine-game winning streak. It appeared it would be a high-scoring contest early, with a 5-5 score after four innings, but an RBI groundout by Salt Lake's Eric Young Jr. in the sixth was the only tally for the remainder of the game.

Travis Jankowski went 2-for-4 with a hit by pitch and has reached base in 12 of his last 15 plate appearances. Franmil Reyes extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a three-run double in the bottom of the first inning, his second bases loaded hit in as many games. Former Chihuahua Rymer Liriano hit a two-run home run in the second inning for Salt Lake.

Brett Nicholas reached base three times in the loss for El Paso. The eight-game winning streak was the third in Chihuahuas history.
