Almost There: El Paso On Cusp of DS Triumph After 5-3 Win
The El Paso Thunderbirds moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the Rio de Janeiro Jaguars on the road at Rio de Janeiro Grounds by a score of 5-3. Thunderbirds right-hander Mayne Rippon had a strong outing. He threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The win gives the Thunderbirds a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Series.

El Paso used the hitting of Bahupatu Ranjitsinhji to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Thunderbirds on top, 4-1. For the game, Ranjitsinhji had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I like seeing our guys get a return on what they've put in," said El Paso manager AP MP.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rio de Janeiro Grounds in Rio de Janeiro.
