Charros Put It All Together in 7-5 Win Over Los Mochis

5 RUN 3RD INNING SEALS THE DEAL

Celebrating the Win
The Charros de Jalisco scored 5 times and held on to beat the Caneros de Los Mochis 7-5 last night.

Jalisco starter Daniel Guerrero was inconsistent through 4 innings but allowed only 2 runs while scattering 8 hits. Reliever Adrian Guzman (1-0) picked up the win in relief working 2 perfect innings. Charros reliever Ramon Delgado made the game closer than it should have been giving up 3 runs in the 7th inning but Victor Gonzalez, Luis Rodriguez and Ivan Salas held the Caneros at bay until closer Aaron Kurcz worked a perfect 9th inning to earn his 2nd save.

Roy Merritt (0-1) was tagged for 13 hits and 7 runs (5 earned) in 4 2/3 innings on the hill in the loss for Los Mochis.

The Charros opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the 2nd when Art Charles scored from third on a pop up to the pitcher by Cacao Valdez that left home plate unguarded for the 1-0 lead.

Jalisco broke the game open in the 3rd. Carlos Figueroa singled to right to lead off and went to second on a single by Amadeo Zazueta. Manny Rodriguez followed with a double to score Figueroa. Michael Choice grounded out to short to plate Zazueta, Art Charles doubled to score Rodriguez and Agustin Murillo singled to drive in Charles. After Cacao Valdez popped up to first, Gabriel Gutierrez singled to score Murillo for the 6-0 Charros lead.

A single by Leandro Castro, a double by Yadir Drake and a single by Jesus Arredondo scored 2 for the Caneros who cut the lead to 6-2.

Cacao Valdez doubled with 1 out in the bottom of the 5th for the Charros and scored on a Gutierrez single for the insurance run that put Jalisco up 7-2.

With one gone in the top of the 7th inning for Los Mochis, Sergio Garcia singled and scored on a triple by Rodolfo Amador. Isaac Rodriguez then hit a 2 run home run to get the Caneros back in the game at 7-5 but they would score no more and the Charros emerged victorious with the 7-5 win.
