Tomateros Score Early Top Charros 6-2

AGUSTIN MURILLO AGAIN THE OFFENSIVE STAR

1st Pitch Ball Skylined In
Agustin Murillo went 3 for 4 last night with 2 RBIs in the 6-2 loss to the Tomateros de Culiacan. His single in the bottom of the 3rd with the bases loaded and 2 outs, drove in Jonathan Aceves and Amadeo Zazueta to cut the Culiacan lead to 4-2.

The Charros starter, Manuel Flores, gave up 6 runs on 9 hits in 3 2/3 innings, continuing a troubling trend of allowing the opposing team to build an early lead.

Flores was tagged for consecutive singles by Rico Noel and Ronnier Mustelier to start the game. After a strike out, Joey Meneses singled to drive in Noel and Jorge Vazquez singled to plate Mustelier. Mike Carp's sac fly to left got Meneses home for the 3-0 Culiacan lead.
Flores Pulled After 3 2/3 Innings

Doubles by the Tomatero's Irving Wilson and Mustelier added a run in the 2nd inning to increase the lead to 4-0.

Murillo's 2 run single in the bottom of the 3rd cut the lead to 4-2 but the Tomateros responded in the top of the 4th with 2 runs of their own. With 2 outs, Wilson singled and went to third on a double by Noel. Both runners scored on a single by Mustelier for the final 6-2 margin of victory.

Manuel Flores (0-1) took the loss for Jalisco while Aaron Thompson (1-0) worked 6 innings, allowing 2 runs while scattering 9 hits, striking out 6 and not giving up a walk in the win.

Agustin Murillo In The Field
In addition to Murillo's 3 for 4 night at the plate, Jonathan Aceves, a catching substitute for the injured Gabriel Gutierrez, was 2 for 4 with a run scored for the Charros.

Ronnier Mustelier was 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs, Rico Noel 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored and Irving Wilson 2 for 4 with 2 runs scored for Culiacan.
