The Charros de Jalisco, behind some fine pitching by Juan Delgadillo and four relievers, beat the Caneros de Los Mochis 7-1 on Saturday night in Zapopan.
In the bottom of the 1st for the Charros, Manny Rodriguez singled and went to second on a 4-3 ground out by Leo Heras. Japhet Amador doubled to right to score Rodriguez and give the Charros the 1-0 lead.
The Charros added to their lead in the bottom of the 2nd. CJ Retherford led off with a single and Brendan Harris walked. Gabriel Gutierrez drew a base on balls to load the bases. Jesus Lopez hit a sac fly to right to score Retherford and advance Harris and Gutierrez to 2nd and 3rd. Eduardo Arredondo grounded into a double play to end the inning but the Jalisco lead was 2-0 after two innings.
Los Mochis got a run back in ther top of the 3rd off Charros starter Juan Delgadillo when Yancarlo Angulo led off with a single, advanced on a wild pitch, went to third on a ground out by Rodolfo Amador and scored on a sac fly by Justin Christian. The Caneros had cut the lead to 2-1, but they would get no closer.
Jesus Cota, batting for Brendan Harris, led off the bottom of the 7th for the Charros with a single. Gabriel Gutierrez followed with a single. Edson Garcia came into the game as a pinch runner for Cota. Jesus Lopez reached safely on a throwing error by the Caneros catcher that scored Garcia and Gutierrez for the 4-1 Charros lead. The Caneros manager argued over the second run scored on the play at the plate. He argued too strenously as he was ejected by the home plate umpire. Manny Rodriguez then hit a ground rule double, his 16th double of the year, that score Lopez. Leo Heras was intentionally walked and Japhet Amador singled to right to score Rodriguez and move Heras to third. Marquez Smith followed with a sac fly to score Heras and the Charros led 7-1.
The Caneros threatened in the top of the 9th, putting runners on second and third with two outs but Rodolfo Amador flew out to left to give the Charros the 7-1 victory.
