EL PASO, Texas- Tyler Greene drove in three runs to lead the El Paso Chihuahuas to a 4-1 win over the Salt Lake Bees in the penultimate game for both teams on Sunday night. Greene broke up a scoreless duel in the fourth inning when he led off with an opposite field home run to right off of Salt Lake starter Caleb Clay. In the fifth, Jace Peterson delivered an RBI double to make it 2-0 and Greene capped off the inning with a two run single to center. Three El Paso pitchers kept the Bees off the board until Ryan Wheeler led off the ninth with a homer to right center. With one out, Vance Albitz and Tony Campana walked to bring the potential tying run to the plate, but Shawn O'Malley flied out and J.B. Shuck grounded out to end the game.

Clay (3-7) took the loss, as he went seven innings and allowed four runs on ten hits with four strikeouts and no walks.
