San Diego Padres affiliates went 3-1 on Sunday.

Here is a recap of the day’s events.

El Paso ChihuahuasĀ  Won 6-5 (21-9 overall)

The Chihuahuas stayed hot, as they beat Salt Lake by the score of 6-5 on Sunday on a wild pitch that scored Michael Gettys. Austin Allen‘s three-run homer in the eighth inning was key in the comeback victory for El Paso before that. They scored five runs in the eighth to take a 5-2 lead, but the Bees scored three runs to tie the game. An error by Peter Van Gansen was key, as Luis Perdomo allowed three unearned runs on three hits. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Michael Gettys singled and was moved to third on a base hit off the bat of Luis Urias. He trotted home a few pitches later as Matt Ramsey threw a wild pitch for the walkoff El Paso victory.

Austin Allen– (1-3) HR, Run, 3 RBI, K

Michael Gettys– (1-5) 2 Runs,

Luis Urias– (1-3) Run, 2 BB, K

Seth Mejias-Brean– (2-4) Run, RBI

Dillon Overton– 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, BB, 6 K (86 pitches- 56 strikes)

Amarillo Sod PoodlesĀ  Won 8-5 (13-17 overall)

Young outfielder Edward Olivares had himself a game on Sunday in Texas. He slugged three homers for the Soddies in a win and now has eight on the season. Olivares has put on alot of muscle over the last year or so. That added weight has transformed him into a power threat. In the game, Olivares homered each time he faced Travelers’ starting pitcher Darren McCaughan. The Soddies got up early on Arkansas and did not look back in the 8-5 win. Miguel Diaz made the start for Amarillo in his first game back from a knee issue during the spring. He could factor eventually for the major league team as they search for relief options. Travis Radke continues to be impresive in Amarillo, as he threw two scoreless innings, walking one and striking out five. Hudson Potta is heating up as he homered in the game and doubled twice. His OPS is up to .729 on the season now.
