The only games were in the Mexican League.

VENEZUELAN LEAGUE

No games scheduled.

MEXICAN LEAGUE

Twins:  None.

JALISCO 5, NAVOJOA 3 IN JALISCO

Jalisco scored two in the fifth to break a 1-1 tie and added two in the seventh.  Manny Rodriguez was 3-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.  Octavio Acosta struck out nine in six innings, giving up one run on four hits and two walks.  For Navojoa, Paul Leon was 2-for-4 with a double and a home run, his sixth.

HERMOSILLO 7, LOS MOCHIS 5 IN LOS MOCHIS (10 INNINGS)

Hermosillo scored two in the ninth to tie it 5-5 and a two-run error in the tenth gave Hermosillo the victory.  Jason Bourgeois was 3-for-5 with a walk.  Domonic Brown was 2-for-6 with a home run, his seventh.  For Los Mochis, Olmo Rosario was 3-for-3 with a double and two walks.  Saul Soto was 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.  Juan Carlos Gamboa hit a home run, his fifth.

CULIACAN 2, MAZATLAN 0 IN MAZATLAN (14 INNINGS)

It was a scoreless tie through thirteen innings.  Thankfully, the Mexican League does not spoil games like this with the goofy "start the inning with men on base" rule.  In the fourteenth, Jose Guadalupe Chavez doubled home one run and Sebastian Elizalde singled in another.  The two teams combined for just twelve hits in the fourteen innings.  Aldo Montes struck out seven in four perfect innings.  Amilcar Gaxiola also pitched four shutout innings.  For Mazatlan, Francisco Moreno pitched eight shutout innings, giving up two hits and two walks and striking out three.

MEXICALI 4, OBREGON 0 IN MEXICALI

Leading 1-0, Mexicali scored three in the eighth.  Chris Roberson was 4-for-4 with a triple and a home run, his eleventh.  Luis Juarez was 3-for-4 with a double.  Miguel Pena struck out seven in seven shutout innings, giving up two hits and a walk.  For Obregon, Irwin Delgado pitched seven innings, giving up one run on seven hits and two walks and striking out three.
