Mayos Sweep Charros with 4-1 Win in Game 3

A MICHAEL CHOICE SAC FLY PROVIDES THE ONLY CHARROS OFFENSE

Michael Choice sac fly

The good news on the night was that the Charros scoreless streak stopped at 24 innings. The bad news is that, while the Charros scored a run, the Mayos de Navojoa scored 4 times to win the game 4-1. Navojoa swept the 3 game series and the Charros fell to 11-12 on the season.

Some additional bad news is that in the 3 games the Charros managed just 17 hits and 1 run. They also were 1 for 24 with runners in scoring position, an .041 batting average. Without providing key hits that produced runs, the excellent pitching by the Charros pitchers was wasted. The starters and relievers allowed just 8 runs in the 3 games.

Newly acquired starter, Matthew Zielinski (0-1) took the loss. He gave up 6 hits, including a home run, and 3 runs in the first 2 innings but settled down in his 5 innings on the mound.

Zack Dodson (1-2) allowed 1 run on 5 hits while striking out 6 in the win.

Humberto Sosa singled to right in the bottom of the 1st inning for Navojoa to drive in Yosmany Guerra and Randy Arozarena for the quick 2-0 lead. Again a lead off walk issued by the Charros pitching led to a run.

Diego Madero hit a solo hone run to deep left center in the second to add to the Mayos lead.

Cacao Valdez doubled in the 4th inning for Jalisco and advanced to third on a fielding error on the play. Michael Choice followed with a sac fly to put the Charros on the board and cut the Mayos' lead to 3-1.

Navojoa scored their final run in the bottom of the 6th on a double by Sosa, a ground ball out and a single by Fernando Flores for the 4-1 win.

Manny Rodriguez went 2 for 3 with a double for the Charros.
