It had been over six hundred days since the El Paso played baseball at Southwest University Park, and Thursday night's home opener did not disappoint, as the Chihuahuas overcame a 3-0 deficit and defeated the Albuquerque Isotopes, 5-3. The home debut—in front of 6,365 fans at Southwest University Park—was headlined by pitcher MacKenzie Gore, who is the Padres top prospect and the top pitching prospect in baseball. Though it was a bit of a roller-coaster evening for Gore, he settled down in an impressive fashion. Starter MacKenzie Gore struggled in the game early on, as the 22-year-old allowed three hits and a run at the top of the second. He was able to get out of the inning with Isotopes runners stranded on first and third.
