Although first place hopes were not accomplished since Salt Lake won in ALbuquerque, the El Paso Chihuahuas beefed up their resume with a 6-1 victory over the Sacramento River Cats Thursday.
A familiar face for the Chihuahuas, Hunter Renfroe, joined the troop on Tuesday night and his return to the Sun City was nothing shy of impressive. He went 3-for-4 with three runs scored. Since being sent down from the Padres, Renfroe is now 7-of-12 when batting.
El Paso started off quickly, leading 2-1 all the way into the bottom of the eighth inning. After Rafael Ortega was called safe on a reversed call, the Chihuahuas scored four runs with two outs.
