Will Oliver

The Charros de Jalisco had the game well in hand, with a 3-0 lead, until the bottom of the 8th. Will Oliver, who had pitched 6 masterful innings of shutout baseball, could only watch from the dugout as reliever Aaron Kurcz gave up 3 runs on 3 hits to let the Tomateros tie the game and Felipe Gonzalez (0-1) allow a run on 2 hits, all in 2/3 of an inning, as the Charros fell to 11-8 on the season.

Newly activated Juan Ramon Noriega (1-0) was the beneficiary of the 4 run outburst to pick up the win for the 9-10 Tomateros and Casey Coleman notched his 6th save of the season.

Luis Cruz

Luis Cruz doubled to begin the come back in the bottom of the 8th for Culiacan. Blake Gailen singled to drive in Cruz. Ryan McBroom tripled over the head of the center fielder to plate Gailen. Jorge Vasquez hit a sac fly to plate McBroom and just like that the game was tied at 3. Issmael Salas singled and Ronnier Mustelier doubled. With men on second and third, Ali Solis hit a sac fly to bring in Salas to give Culiacan the 4-3 lead.

The Charros went down in order in the 9th to hand the Tomateros the come back win. With the loss, the Charros fall back into a 1st place tie in the LMP with the Venados de Mazatlan.

16,062 fans were on hand at Estadio de los Tomateros in Culiacan to watch the exciting come back win by the home team.
