The El Paso Chihuahuas scored four runs in a nine-batter bottom of the seventh inning Friday night to break a late tie in their 7-3 win over the Las Vegas Aviators. The Chihuahuas have won two games in a row and four of their last six.

Chihuahuas starter Stephen Kolek allowed two runs in five innings Friday and has allowed only two runs in 10 innings in home games this year. Ron Marinaccio allowed only a single in two shutout relief innings and picked up his first win of the season. El Paso first baseman Trenton Brooks went 1-for-4 with a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning. It was his second straight game with a home run and his 12^th straight game with at least one hit. Brooks now has five home runs, which is tied for the second-highest total in the Pacific Coast League. Catcher Luis Campusano also homered for El Paso.

Chihuahuas second baseman Eguy Rosario reached base three times, going 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs. El Paso third base coach Matt Adams was ejected in the third inning for arguing a call at second base, which was the Chihuahuas’ first ejection of the season.
