Mexicali Overcomes Navojoa 5-2 in 11 Innings

MAYOS PITCHING FALLS APART IN EXTRA INNINGS

The Mayos de Navojoa used 3 pitchers in the 11th inning and hoped to keep the Aguilas from scoring. It didn't work.Jorge Rivera hit David Harris with a pitch to start the inning. A botched sacrifice bunt attempt cut down Harris at second. With pinch hitter Jon Del Campo at the plate, Rivera uncorked 2 consecutive wild pitches to advance Javier Salazar to third. Del Campo was intentionally walked. Xorge Carrillo  doubled to score Salazar. After a pitching change and with 2 outs, Juan Perez singled on a bunt to third that scored pinch runner Alan Sanchez with Carrillo moving to third. Pitchers were changed again. Perez was caught trying to steal second but Carrillo scored on the play, giving the Aguilas a 5-2 lead.

Jake Sanchez
Jake Sanchez, the Aguilas closer, gave up a walk to Elmer Reyes and walked Luis Fonseca. Both runners advanced on a grounder back to the pitcher for the second out. With runners at second and third, Carlos Mendivil hit a ground ball to third to end the game with the Mexicali win.

Dalton Rodriguez (1-0) got the win in relief and Sanchez earned hie second save. Rivera (0-1) took the loss, allowing 3 runs on 1 hit in his 1/3 inning on the mound.

David Harris was 1 for 4 with a home run for Mexicali.
