Without even having taken the field, the hopes of the Leones de Yucatán disappeared this Saturday when they were eliminated from the Baseball Champions League 2023, a new championship of which they are hosts at the Kukulcán Álamo Park and that will see two visitors play the final after that the Caimanes de Barranquilla fell to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the first game of this day.
Leones (0-2) needed a victory from the Caimanes (2-1) to stay alive in this new international baseball tournament, but an eight-run rally in just the first inning sentenced the match very early in favor of the RedHawks (2-1) in the first game of the day.
Even with a match pending, against the Alazanes de Granma (1-1), the only remaining scenario for the Leones is to beat the Cuban team to say goodbye to the tournament on a good note and define the final without having to resort to the calculator.
Alazanes needs a victory to cause a triple tie that will be resolved through Team Quality Balance. The two clubs with the best TQB will qualify for the final.
Leones, the champion of the 2022 season in the Mexican Baseball League, begins to say goodbye to the first edition in the history of the Baseball Americas Champions League, a tournament that will return to Mexico in 2024 with the current champions Pericos de Puebla being the hosts at the Hermanos Serdán Stadium.
However, the last match will define if they can do it with the first victory in their history in this tournament.
