Beefs Lose Late, 7-5
The El Paso Thunderbirds stopped the Chicago Beefs, 7-5, behind an impressive performance from Gianpaolo Belmondo. The two-time All-Star made life miserable for Chicago pitching. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Timothy Adamczak claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. His record stands at 1-1. Gregor Finlater earned the save for El Paso, his 19th.

Belmondo had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the bottom of the eighth, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Thunderbirds went on to win.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Belmondo told the El Paso Chronicle.

The second-place Thunderbirds lifted their record to 37-34.
