Nick Schnell hit an opposite field home run in the bottom of the 10th inning Wednesday afternoon to give the El Paso Chihuahuas a 13-11 walk-off win over the Reno Aces. It was the 21st walk-off home run in Chihuahuas' history and their second this season. Schnell also homered in the fifth inning in his second multi-homer game of the year.
Samad Taylor went 2-for-5 with a home run that began the bottom of the first. It was the first time since Jase Bowen's leadoff home run on April 14 in Round Rock that the Chihuahuas started a first inning with a homer. Taylor has reached base at least three times in both games of the series. El Paso shortstop Clay Dungan had a season high four hits.
The Aces trailed 11-4 before scoring seven late runs to tie the score. Reno's game-tying home run in the top of the eighth came from El Paso native Ivan Melendez. All nine starting Chihuahuas reached base Wednesday. El Paso's 20 hits set a new season high. The Chihuahuas have won the first two games of the series. El Paso advanced to 2-3 in extra inning games, while Reno dropped to 0-2.
