Rio de Janeiro Jaguars (46-39) 1 1 1 0 1 0 3 0 X 7 14 3
Jaguars Win, Now 46-39
Rio de Janeiro parlayed a decent outing from starter Javier Villegas into a solid win over the El Paso Thunderbirds. The final score was 7-4. Rio de Janeiro currently is in third place in the Americas Baseball League Latin American Division at 46-39.

Had Guy Pacio not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Pacio hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Jaguars.

"Winning never gets dull," said Pacio.
