Charros Fall To Yaquis 6-1

POOR PITCHING JALISCO'S ACHILLES HEEL

Homar Rojas, the Charros de Jalisco manager, needs to work out the kinks with his starting pitching and relievers. If the pitching doesn't turn around quickly, this season could very well be a repeat of last year when the Charros snuck into the playoffs on the last day of the season and were swept in the first round of the post season. The Charros pitchers have allowed 19 runs in their first 3 games. True, the Charros have scored 19 times but 18 of those runs came in the first game. Jalisco has scored 1 run in the last 18 innings, culminating in 2 losses.

Arturo Lopez

The Charros potentially explosive offense was held in check by Obregon's starter, Arturo \lopez, who scattered 6 hits over 5 2/3 innings. Three of those hits came in the top of the 2nd inning when consecutive singles by Art Charles, Cacao Valdez and Agustin Murillo produced the lone Jalisco run.

Murillo and Jonathan Aceves were both 2 for 4 on the night but the Charros were just 2 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

The Yaquis scored 3 runs in the 3rd inning. The first came on a wild pitch and the next 2 on a single to center by Matt Juengel.

Obregon added 3 runs in the bottom of the 4th. Sergio Contreras walked to lead off the inning followed by singles from Jose Felix and Justin Greene. Joey Wendle tripled to the right field corner to clear the bases for the 6-1 lead and the game.

3 Runs Score on Triple
