LMB: Pericos de Puebla Extend Series With Game Four Drubbing Of Piratas de Campeche

Phillip Ervin and Miguel Guzman each hit solo homers in the second, giving the Pericos de Puebla the lead and the game-winning run, but they continued to peck away at the Piratas de Campeche.

The Pericos added four more in the fourth and another run in the fifth and glided to a 9-2 win in game five of their playoff series against the Piratas, cutting Campeche’s series lead to 3-2 and sending the series back to the Mexican gulf coast for game six on Sunday. Friday’s game was rescheduled from Thursday, when rain in Puebla washed the game out.

Edgar Torres started what ended up being a bullpen game for Puebla, and went three innings, allowing one run on one hit, a solo homer by Felix Perez in the second. Six Pericos relievers combined to finish out the game, each throwing one inning, with only Fred Villareal allowing a run in the eighth when Cal Mitchell’s sac fly scored Christian Ibarra.

Game six will be played Sunday in Campeche, with the first pitch scheduled for 8 p.m. EDT. Starting pitchers have yet to be announced.
