Chihuahuas' Week in Review: Ups and Downs in the Desert

The El Paso Chihuahuas

The El Paso Chihuahuas, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, have had a mixed bag of results over the past week. As they continue to draw sellout crowds to Southwest University Park, the team has shown flashes of brilliance but also faced some tough challenges on the field.

Game Recap

On Wednesday, July 24, the Chihuahuas took on the Salt Lake Bees at Smith's Ballpark. Despite hitting two home runs, they ultimately fell short, losing 9-5. This loss extended Salt Lake's season-high winning streak, but the Chihuahuas' power at the plate was a promising sign for their offense.

Team History

The Chihuahuas have been a force to be reckoned with in the Pacific Coast League since their inception in 2014. Their unique name, chosen through a "Name The Team" contest, reflects the fun and fiercely loyal spirit of the El Paso community. The team's brand, featuring a snarling Chihuahua as its primary logo, has become a beloved part of the city's baseball identity.

Looking Ahead

As the season continues, the Chihuahuas will look to bounce back from their recent loss and make a push for the top of the standings. With their loyal fan base behind them, they are sure to put on an exciting show at Southwest University Park.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Chihuahuas' journey this season.
