(Mexicali, BC) Mexicali triumphed by a narrow 1- 0 score, and Jake Sánchez made history by recording his 134th career save, tying the record of the legendary Isidro “Chilo” Márquez, the LAMP’s all-time saves leader for the past 17 years. A tight pitching duel marked the final game of the series before the Christmas break in Mexicali on this chilly night in the border city. The game also marked the return of pitcher Dalton Rodríguez to the Tucson rotation, who pitched three innings, striking out two and allowing three hits without giving up a run.
Aguilas finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth inning against a Tucson bullpen that got into trouble. With the bases loaded, Oscar Soria walked Marco Jaime, and Alex Mejía scored from third. That single run was enough for Mexicali to salvage a point at home, but the series went to
Tucson 2-1. The Mexican Pacific League (Liga Arco Mexicana del Pacífico) is taking a Christmas break and will resume play on December 25th. The team, coaching staff, and everyone in the front office wish all our baseball fans happy holiday.
