The Yaquis took the lead in the top of the 4th. Leo Heras drew a 1 out base on balls and went to third on a double by Isaac Paredes. The Navojoa starter, Marco Carrillo, uncorked a wild pitch to score Heras and move Paredes to third. Jesus Valdez hit a sac fly to drive in Paredes as Obregon took a 2-1 lead.

Alonzo Harris hit a line drive shot to left foe a solo home run to tie the game at 2.

Navojoa took the lead for good in the 7th. Fernando Flores stroked a one out single. Omar Renteria came into the game as a pinch runner for Flores. Alejandro Gonzalez drew a base on balls. A single by Harris scored Renteria and a double by Elmer Reyes drove in Harris for the 4-2 Mayos lead.

Daniel Robertson doubled to left with 1 out in the top of the 9th and scored on a throwing error by the left fielder on the throw to second. Part of the problem here was that no one backed up the throw which allowed Robertson to score when he should have been stopped at third.

Rogelio Martinez (2-0) picked up the win in relief for the 9-9 Mayos and Jesus Pirela notched his 6th save of the season. Nathanael Santiago (0-1) for the 8-11 Yaquis, giving up the 2 runs in the 7th on 3 hits..
