El Paso Nears Pro Circuit Cup Triumph After 11-4 Win
Riding the 2-hit performance of third baseman Zhi-huan Gan, the El Paso Diablos flattened the St. Louis Lions, 11-4, in Game 4 of the Pro Circuit Cup. Gan went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Diablos, who now lead 3-1 in the best-of-7 series.

In the top of the third, El Paso right fielder Eric Eriksen had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and two out, Eriksen stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 5-1, El Paso. For the game, he went 2-5 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"It's on me," said Lions manager Leo Cruz. "The guys I sent out there today were the wrong ones for the situation. I'll be sure to send the right ones out next time."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Lions Hearth in St. Louis.
