GUASAVE, MOCHIS ONE WIN AWAY FROM MEXPAC FINALS

The Guasave Algodoneros and Los Mochis Caneros are both one win away from meeting each other in the Mexican Pacific League championship series after Friday wins.


Guasave took a 3-2 lead in their semifinal series with Mazatlan Friday night by winning a 3-2 nailbiter, thanks to Dionys Cesar’s walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the ninth. It was the second two-bagger of the game for Cesar, who is ordinarily an outfielder but has been playing shortstop in the postseason for the Algodoneros.

In the other MexPac semi, Saul Soto homered twice and drove in four runs to lead Mochis to a 7-3 win over Hermosillo on Friday as the Caneros took a 3-2 lead in their series against the Naranjeros. Ramon Orantes added three hits for Mochis as Dominican lefty Juan Pena picked up the win by scattering two runs in 5.1 innings.
