On Friday, May 19, the visiting Oklahoma City Dodgers took the life out of Southwest University Park with an early 5-0 lead over the El Paso Chihuahuas, which included back-to-back home runs from the first two at-bats.
It seemed as if the Chihuahuas were bound to come up short in the first of the four-game series against the Dodgers.
However, the Chihuahuas responded by putting up a season-high on runs scored, as El Paso rallied back from the early deficit to overcome Oklahoma City, 16-8 in front of 8,810 fans.
In large part, the Chihuahuas relied of their third baseman Christian Villanueva, who drove in three runs, hit a home run and went a perfect 5-for-5 on Friday.
