(10 Innings)
Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022 – Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark – Oklahoma City, Okla.
Game Summary: The El Paso Chihuahuas scored four runs in the top of the 10th inning then held the Oklahoma City Dodgers scoreless in their final at-bat as El Paso came back to send the Dodgers to a 7-3 loss Tuesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. The teams played to a 3-3 tie through nine innings, with the Dodgers taking the first lead of the night in the series opener between the teams. Ryan Noda connected on a solo home run in the second inning for a 1-0 OKC advantage. The Chihuahuas (66-52) knotted the score, 1-1, in the top of the fourth inning on a RBI ground-rule double by C.J. Hinojosa. The Dodgers (67-51) quickly answered with two runs in the bottom of the frame. Edwin Ríos homered on the first pitch of the bottom of the fourth inning and James Outman later hit a RBI double for a 3-1 lead. El Paso forced extra innings with two runs in the eighth inning. Hinojosa hit a RBI single before the Chihuahuas scored the game-tying run on a balk by OKC pitcher Jake Reed due to a pace of play violation. In the 10th inning, El Paso’s Luis Campusano and Kyle Martin each hit two-run homers for a four-run lead as the Chihuahuas closed the game with six unanswered runs. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the bottom of the 10th inning with one out, but El Paso escaped the jam getting Devin Mann to hit into a game-ending double play.
