Thursday: David Dahl’s RBI double in the bottom of the seventh gave the Isotopes a 5-4 walk-off win and allowed them to split two games against visiting Round Rock.

The Express won the opener, the resumption of a suspended game from Wednesday, by a 12-5 score.

Round Rock led the suspended game 3-0 and had the bases loaded when action resumed in the second inning. Cliff

Pennington’s bloop single and a dropped fly ball quickly made it 7-0 and the rout was on. Pennington finished with three hits, including one of his team’s three homers.

Anthony Bemboom’s three-run homer helped Albuquerqu­e build a 4-0 lead in the nightcap, a seven-inning contest, but Round Rock rallied to tie. After a rain delay of 76 minutes, Raimel Tapia singled and later scored on Dahl’s double just inside the third-base line. Dahl finished with four hits, including a homer, in the two games.

Notes: Express manager Jason Wood, a member of the Albuquerqu­e Pro Baseball Hall of Fame after playing a record 597 games in Albuquerqu­e, is one of several members of Round Rock organizati­on with ties to the Isotopes or to Albuquerqu­e.

Athletic trainer Carlos Olivas,a graduate of St. Michael’s in Santa Fe and the University of New Mexico (in 2000), lives in Albuquerqu­e during the offseason. Pitcher Chris Jensen appeared for the Isotopes in five games earlier this season.
