MAZATLAN._ Another great ball game was witnessed by the fans who gathered at the Teodoro Mariscal Stadium, where Venados de Mazatlán and Mayos de Navojoa offered a high-voltage duel.
The result was 4-3 for the Sonora tribe, in what was the second match of the first series of the 2024-2025 regular season of the Mexican Pacific Arco League.
The actions were decided in the ninth inning, when Sergio Pérez detonated a three-run homer off the pitches of Alex Speas, giving the visitor the turnaround to the clash and the advantage that would be definitive for the tribe.
Before, it was Venados who went ahead on the scoreboard in the third inning, when Dilson Herrera hit a ground ball that went to the left field to drive in Randy Romero, who was on base due to misplaced balls.
However, Mayos would achieve parity on the scoreboard in the fifth round, which came when Matt McDermott grounded out for third, where Álex Liddi managed to make a showy play to look for the double play, but the batter arrived safely in the first base, so Missael Rivera arrived at the promised land for 1.1.
The home team had to wait until the sixth inning to regain the lead, since Alex Liddi appeared there with a hit hit that hit left fielder Agustín Ruiz and passed him so that the Italian scored a double and sent Carlos Castro to the register. Juan Kirk still appeared to roll the ball through the anteroom for Liddi to make it 3-1 that prevailed until the end.
The rest of the match was dominated by the relay, especially that of Venados, who managed to preserve what ended up being the third victory for the Buenos Aires team in the current campaign.
The defeat went to Alex Speas (0-1), after failing to complete the rescue, while the victory went to Edwyn Valle (1-0). The save was in the hands of Charlie Hasty (2).
For this Thursday, Venados will go out in search of winning the honor when they send the Colombian Luis Escobar (0-0) as the starter, who will face Octavio Acosta (0-0) in the mountain clash starting at 8:00 p.m. .
