The El Paso Chihuahuas have vaulted into second place in the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Southern Division following a double-header sweep of the first-place Salt Lake Bees on Sunday afternoon, April 29, in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Bees had been running away with the division, with a 14-7 record prior to the last-place Chihuahuas taking Saturday’s game 8-7, and winning the Sunday pair 3-0 and 12-3. The Chihuahuas lost the series opener to the Bees on Thursday, April 27, 13-5, before Friday’s game was postponed.
The suddenly hot Chihuahuas will face the Bees one more time before heading back to the friendly confines of Southwest University Park, where the team is 7-6, to take on the Albuquerque Isotopes.
