Koenig allowed only two runs in 17 innings over his final three starts of the season. The Comets won four of the six games in the series and 12 of the 18 games this year against the Chihuahuas.

The Chihuahuas' run came on catcher Anthony Vilar's RBI single in the bottom of the second inning. Vilar went 4-for-8 with two RBIs in the series. Sunday's loss dropped El Paso to 2-10 all-time in regular season finales.
