The Aguilas de Mexicali relief pitching fell apart late in the game with Scott McGough giving up 2 runs on 3 hits in the top of the 9th to be charged with a blown save and losing pitcher Adrian Martinez (0-1) allowing 2 runs to score on 3 hits in the top of the 10th.

Luis Pino (1-0) picked up the win in relief while closer Andres Avila made things interesting in the bottom half of the 10th. Avila walked CJ Retherford, gave up a single to Xorge Carrillo and walked Jon Del Campo to load the bases with 2 outs. Avila got Ricardo Serrano to fly out to center to end the game and preserve the win for Los Mochis.
Mexicali had taken a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the 8th on a single by Jason Bourgeois, newly returned from his tenure with the LMB Champion Sultanes de Monterrey, and a 2 run home run by David Harris, his third home run of the year.
