Sunny weather and summer vibes brought the energy to the Albuquerque Isotopes game at Rio Grande Credit Union Field on Sunday. 

Albuquerque’s Isotopes took on the Oklahoma City Comets, and while the team didn’t quite beat the heat, the crowd certainly brought the enthusiasm. 

With an attendance count of 8,783, fans showed their support. The crowd roared for 3 home runs (made by players Adael Amador,  Chuckie Robinson, and Blaine Crim), and families and kids cheered for mid-inning fun, like the ENMU Simba Cam and the Circle K Hotdog Toss. 

Fans cheered and laughed during the heavily anticipated Chile Race, when Red Chile knocked Salsa out of the lead (and to the ground), crossing the finish line in first place. Red’s win brought the total points tally to 5 for Red, 4 for Green, 3 for Taco, and Salsa still in the lead with 11 wins. 

With a final score of 8-20, the Albuquerque Isotopes may not have taken it home, but they certainly gave fans a good time.
