GUASAVE TAKES EARLY LEAD IN MEX PAC STANDINGS

The Guasave Algodoneros are the early leaders in the standings two weeks into the Mexican Pacific League standings. After 15 games, Guasave have an 11-5 record, 1.5 games ahead of the Mexicali Aguilas and Los Mochis Caneros (who are both 9-6). The Algodoneros have won seven of nine home games, best in the Mex Pac, and were victorious in seven of their past ten league games.

Guasave's Jose Rodriguez is the Mex Pac batting leader with a .414 average, just ahead of Obregon's Augie Murillo, who is hitting .410. Oscar Robles of Mexicali is off to a hot start with a .370 average, along with five homers and 15 RBIs. Jorge Vasquez of Culiacan has hit a middling .265 so far, but he's made the most of his 13 hits, with a Mex Pac-best seven homers. However, most of those have come with the bases empty, as Vasquez has just ten RBIs to show for it.

Among pitchers, Hermosillo's Juan Delgadillo is off to the best start, with a 3-1 record, a 1.29 ERA and 15 strikeouts over 21 innings.
