The Las Vegas Aviators scored six times in the bottom of the sixth inning Friday and came back to beat the El Paso Chihuahuas 10-4. The game was back and forth early and it had four lead changes.

Friday’s loss ended the Chihuahuas’ three-game winning streak. Chihuahuas second baseman Matthew Batten stole second base in the fifth inning Friday, which gave him a Pacific Coast League-leading 17 steals this season. The Chihuahuas went down in order in the top of the first inning, which ended a streak of six consecutive games with at least one run in the first.

The Aviators’ sixth inning rally included back-to-back home runs by Dermis Garcia and Jordan Diaz, the first set of back-to-back homers against El Paso since Salt Lake’s Chris Okey and Taylor Jones on April 29. Chihuahuas right fielder David Dahl had two hits and two RBIs in the loss.
