We were on a roll with seven wins in our last eight games.
EL PASO CHIHUAHUAS (14-14) AT ALBUQUERQUE ISOTOPES (16-12)
May 4: Before the game began, we had a small ceremony for Brett Oberholtzer to let the fans celebrate him being named Pitcher of the Month. Chad Bettis then gave us 6.2 strong innings and Elliot Soto scored a couple of runs as we continued to roll. Isotopes 6 El Paso 1.
May 5: Oberholtzer lasted just 2.2 innings then left with an injury. Horrible news! But the offense picked up the slack. Shawn O'Malley had three hits and we won again. Isotopes 5 El Paso 3.
May 6: Everybody else in the division is below .500. We have built a four game lead. We need 10 innings but we win again. However, Stephen Cardullo strained a hip muscle and will be out for three weeks. Isotopes 4 El Paso 3 10 innings.
May 7: The word comes back on Oberholtzer. A hamstring strain. He will be out for two weeks. Two big losses to injury. We have climbed all the way to number three in the Weekly Power Rankings. I put Wes Rogers in at left field and David Holman into the starting rotation to replace Oberholtzer. Colby Lewis keeps us winning with six innings of four hit ball. Willy Garcia and Raimel Tapia lead the offensive assault as we sweep the Chihuahuas. Isotopes 9 El Paso 2.
