Alcova Blasts Aztecs, Thunderbirds Take Game 4, 9-3
The El Paso Thunderbirds knotted up the Divisional Series at Thunderdome, thanks in large part to second baseman Johan Alcova. Alcova was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once as he overpowered the Mexico City Aztecs, enabling El Paso to grab the 9-3 win and move into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

A key moment came with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Alcova hit a curveball from John Collier for a 2-run home run, putting El Paso up, 6-3.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Alcova told the El Paso Chronicle. "It's as simple as that."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Thunderdome in El Paso.
