Nomar Mazara hit a go-ahead home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in the El Paso Chihuahuas’ 7-6 win over the Reno Aces Thursday night at Southwest University Park.
The Aces had baserunners on in both the eighth and ninth innings but the Chihuahuas’ bullpen held on.
El Paso designated hitter Aderlin Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in the first inning. Rodriguez has eight RBIs through the first three games of the series.
Nomar Mazara’s HR onto the roof of the Big Dog House proves to be the difference!
