Chihuahuas fall short from late surge against Salt Lake

The El Paso Chihuahuas trailed the Salt Lake Bees 10-0 at the end of the third inning and they nearly pulled off the largest comeback in team history, as they came up short against the Bess 11-10 at Southwest University Park.

Salt Lake’s C.J. Cron nailed two home runs in the opening three innings to help build the commanding lead over the home team. Cron ended his day with seven RBIs.

However, the Chihuahuas rallied back by scoring three runs in bottom of the third and fifth inning to close the gap 10-6. In the seventh inning, El Paso got two more runners to cross the plate, but still trailed 10-8.
