The visiting Tomateros de Culiacan scored twice in the top of the 2nd. With two outs and runners on first and second, Alexis Wilson doubled to the left field corner that drove in Jorge Vasquez and Issmael Salas for the 2-0 lead. That lead wouldn't hold up for long though.

The Naranjeros loaded the bases with no outs in their half of the inning. Francisco Peguero scored on a 5-4 force out and Jose Amador came home on a 4-3 ground out as Hermosillo tied the game at 2.

Hermosillo took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 6th on a solo home run to left by Amador.

Culiacan tied the game in the 7th on a sac fly off of the bat of Wilson and took the lead for good in the 8th on a solo home run to left by Cruz which proved to be the game winner in the final 4-3 win for the Tomateros.

Jesus Castillo (2-0) earned the win in relief while David Goforth picked up his 1st save of the season. Cesar Vargas (0-1) was charged with a blown save suffered the defeat for the Naranjeros.
