Liga Mexicana de Beisbol: Piratas Sweep Double Header from Quintana Roo; Three Teams Tied for Last Three Spots In Zona Sur

Piratas de Campeche (43-39) 3, Tigres de Quintana Roo (43-40) 2 (Game 1/Seven Innings) – A two-run homer by Armando Alvarez in the third put the Piratas ahead for good in the first game of the doubleheader. Alvarez also drove in Campeche’s first run with a single in the opening frame.

Piratas de Campeche (44-39) 3, Tigres de Quintana Roo (43-41) 0 (Game 2/Seven Innings) – Guess who? Armando Alvarez hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning as the Piratas swept the doubleheader from the Tigres to open the series. The pair of wins gave Campeche sole possession of third place in the Zona Sur, where they lead by half a game over Puebla, Leon, and Oaxaca, while Quintana Roo fell out of playoff position to seventh place, two games behind the three teams tied for fourth.

Leones de Yucatan (29-54) at Diablos Rojos del Mexico (57-28) – This game was suspended after three innings due to rain with the Diablos leading 7-0 and will be completed on Wednesday as part of a doubleheader.

Guerreros de Oaxaca (45-40) 12, Bravos de Leon (45-40) 1 – Leonel Valera went 3-for-5 with five RBIs, hitting RBI singles in the first, third, and sixth as the Oaxaquenos blew out Leon. Starter James Kaprelian allowed one run on two hits over five innings, walking two and striking out three. The win keeps the two teams tied for fourth place with Puebla, a half-game behind third-place Campeche and two games to the good side of seventh-place Quintana Roo.

El Aguila de Veracruz (39-46) 4, Olmecas de Tabasco (50-35) 3 (11 Innings) – Daniel Montano hit into a fielder’s choice at second base in the bottom of the 11th and Wynton Bernard was able to score on the play to get El Aguila the winning run. Jose Miranda hit a two-run homer in the eighth to tie the game for Veracruz. The win keeps El Aguila alive for a playoff spot, though they’re six games back of sixth place with eight games to play. Tabasco still has a slim chance of taking first place from the Diablos Rojos, though a win by the Diablos in their suspended game against Yucatan would clinch home field advantage for the Reds for the first three rounds of the playoffs.

Pericos de Puebla (44-39) 4, Conspiradores de Queretaro (34-50) 1 – Cristhian Adames and Michael De La Cruz each hit solo homers for Puebla, and an eighth-inning RBI single by Samar Leyva and a sac fly by Herlis Rodriguez capped the win for the Pericos, who are in the three-way logjam for fourth place. Vladimir Gutierrez threw eight innings for Puebla, allowing one run on three hits, striking out six and walking none.

Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos (31-54) 7, Charros de Jalisco (43-41) 1 – Zoilo Almonte, Jonathan Arauz, and Ryan Aguilar each drove in two runs for the Tecos, with Almonte hitting a two-run homer, his 21st of the year, in the fourth. The loss dropped the Charros into fourth place, a half game behind third-place Monterrey in the Zona Norte.

Caliente de Durango (47-37) 9, Sultanes de Monterrey (44-41) 2 – Drew Stankiewicz, Leobaldo Pina, and Daniel Johnson each drove in a pair of runs for Durango, which extended its lead on Monterrey to 3 1/2 games. The best either team can finish is second, and both teams have eight games remaining.

Saraperos de Saltillo (35-50) 14, Rieleros de Aguascalientes (39-42) 4 – Saltillo scored eight runs in the second, getting two-run homers from Thairo Estrada and Oscar Colas, as they took the series opener from the Rieleros. Colas had a pair of homers, scored three times, and drove in four runs for the Saraperos. The loss reduces Aguascalientes’ lead for the final playoff spot in the Zona Norte to a single game over Union Laguna.

Acereros de Monclova (43-42) 10, Dorados de Chihuahua (34-51) 7 – Ramon Hernandez and Rodolfo Amador drove in three runs each as Monclova improved to a game above .500 and remained two games ahead of Aguascalientes in fifth place in the Zona Norte.

Toros de Tijuana (56-27) 10, Algodoneros de Union Laguna (40-45) 2 – The Toros scored six runs in the bottom of the first and added two more in the second and third to run the Algodoneros through the gin. Starter Adonis Medina threw five innings, allowing one run on three hits and striking out four for the Toros, who have clinched home field advantage through the first three rounds of the playoffs. The Algodoneros are two games out of a playoff spot with eight games left to play.
