Another good day for Brad Boyer. A first-inning run was enough for Mazatlan.

A back-and-forth game in Santurce. Errors, wild pitches, and passed balls decide things in Carolina.

Ted Del Guercio was part of the largest trade in baseball history. He was traded by the New York Yankees along with Don Larsen, Billy Hunter, Bob Turley, Kal Segrist, Bill Miller and Don Leppert to the Baltimore Orioles for Gene Woodling, Harry Byrd, Jim McDonald, Hal Smith, Gus Triandos, Willy Miranda, Mike Blyzka, Darrell Johnson, Jim Fridley and Dick Kryhoski in the off-season following the 1953 campaign. Del Guercio was the only person involved in the trade not to play in the majors.
James Mouton was drafted by Minnesota in the eighth round in 1990, but did not sign.

Each Twins player got one hit. Figueroa figures in all the Mayaguez runs.
