Wild pitches lead Jalisco Charros to 1st Caribbean Series title with win over
Culiacan Tomateros
GUADALAJARA, Mxico (AP) --- Reliever Guadalupe Chavez threw a couple of wild
pitches with two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning and the Jalisco Charros
defeated the Culiacan Tomateros 12-11 on Saturday to win the Caribbean Series
championship for the first time in their history.
The Charros, who lost last year's final against the Escogido Leones from the
Dominican Republic, led 9-1 after four innings. But the Tomateros rallied and
tied it at 10 to send the game into extra innings when they took a 11-10 lead.
But Jalisco loaded the bases and Chavez's erratic throws gave them the win.
The Charros' victory gave Mexico its first Caribbean Series title since 2016,
when the Mazatlan Venados won.
The Caribbean Series was set to be played in Venezuela, but political turmoil
forced organizers to move it to Guadalajara.
Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Mexico had decided not to attend the
tournament in Venezuela due to tensions between that country and the United
States.
Mexico played with two teams in the tournament after the Venezuelans declined
to play this year.
