This was a game of explosive innings. Unfortunately for the Aguilas, the Yaquis had more of them. Obregon scored 3 runs in an inning 3 times while Mexicali managed a 4 run 4th.

The Aguilas took the early 1-0 lead in the 1st on a 5-3 ground out that scored Jason Bourgeois. The Yaquis came back in their half of the inning to take the lead. Jesus Valdez doubled to drive in Eury Perez and Isaac Paredes. When Cheslor Cuthbert singled to score Valdez, Obregon had the 3-1 lead.

Mexicali took a 5-3 lead in the 4th, scoring 4 times with the big blow of the inning a 3 run home run off of the bat of Carlos Rodriguez to left center that scored David Harris and CJ Retherford.

Yuniesky Betancourt singled in the top of the 7th to drive in Colin Walsh and give Mexicali a 6-3 lead.

Following two walks and no outs in the bottom half the 7th, Cuthbert singled to score John Nogowski and Juan Carlos Gamboa singled to score Leo Heras and cut the Aguilas lead to 6-5. A walk and a hit batter that scored Cuthbert evened the score at 6 and led to Cuthbert's heroics in the 10th.

Cacao Valdez singled with one out in the bottom of the 10th and went to second on a wild pitch. Leo Heras was walked intentionally. After a pitching change, Cuthbert took the 1st pitch he saw from Jose Lopez to deep left center for a 3 run walk off home run and the win for the Yaquis.

Cuthbert was 3 for 5 with the home run, 5 RBIs and 2 runs scored for the 11-11 Yaquis. Carlos Rodriguez went 2 for 4 with a home run, 3 RBIs and a run scored as the Aguilas fell to 9-12 with the loss
