Mayos Sweep Charros with 4-1 Win in Game 3

A MICHAEL CHOICE SAC FLY PROVIDES THE ONLY CHARROS OFFENSE

The good news on the night was that the Charros scoreless streak stopped at 24 innings. The bad news is that, while the Charros scored a run, the Mayos de Navojoa scored 4 times to win the game 4-1. Navojoa swept the 3 game series and the Charros fell to 11-12 on the season.

Some additional bad news is that in the 3 games the Charros managed just 17 hits and 1 run. They also were 1 for 24 with runners in scoring position, an .041 batting average. Without providing key hits that produced runs, the excellent pitching by the Charros pitchers was wasted. The starters and relievers allowed just 8 runs in the 3 games.

Newly acquired starter, Matthew Zielinski (0-1) took the loss. He gave up 6 hits, including a home run, and 3 runs in the first 2 innings but settled down in his 5 innings on the mound.
