Jay Austin stroked a one out single for Oaxaca in the bottom of the 1st and came around to score ahead of Urrutia's long home run to center for the 2-0 Guerreros lead.
Samar Leyva was hit by a pitch to start the bottom of the 2nd inning. Erick Rodriguez singled with Leyva stopping at second. Alejandro then hit what should be called a swinging bunt that forced Rodriguez at second. With runners at first and third, Yordanys Linares singled to center scoring Leyva as Gonzalez stopped at second. Jay Austin singled to plate Gonzalez and advance Linares to third. Yuniesky Betancourt hit a fly ball to right that scored Linares but a 9-2-6-3-6 relay caught Austin between first and second for the back end of a double play.
Yucatan scored their lone run in the top of the 6th, With 1 out, Ricardo Serrano singled to left. A wild pitch put Serrano on second. With 2 outs, Walter Ibarra singled to left to score Serrano. When Leo Heras struck out, the threat and the inning were over for the Leones.
And then the rains came. After a 2 hour and 41 minute rain delay, play resumed and the pitching took over. Neither team was able to mount any offense over the remaining 3 innings and the score stood 5-1 Guerreros.
The winner of this Zona Sur 1st round series will face the Diablos Rojos del Mexico in the Zona Sur Championship round. The Diablos took their series from the Pericos de Puebla 4 games to 1 on Sunday.
