Major League Baseball officially announced that it will not provide Minor League affiliates with players for 2020, ending the El Paso Chihuahuas season.
The game of baseball is such a beautiful one. It’s America’s pastime. It reminds us of long-lasting traditions and sometimes if you’re lucky, baseball breaks all the barriers of the sporting world.
Coming off a strong road outing, where the Chihuahuas won two of the three games at Las Vegas Ballpark, the Aviators stormed through Southwest University Park and swept El Paso in a three-game series to be just one game behind the first-place Chihuahuas in the Pacific Coast League Southern Divison.
The Pacific Coast League all-stars got off to an electric start with a four-run second inning and never looked back, as they handled the International League, 9-3, in the RMHC Triple-A All-Star game.
El Paso's Triple-A All-Star week officially kicked off with the Jarritos Triple-A Home Run Derby on Monday night, as Reno Aces left fielder Yasmany Tomás belted 19 home runs to defeat Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's Mike Ford in the final round and was crowned Home Run Derby champion.
Eight sluggers from the Pacific Coast League and the International League will test their bats in the 2019 Jarritos Triple-A Home Run Derby tonight at Southwest University Park, beginning at 7 p.m.
