MAZATLAN CLINCHES MEXPAC SECOND HALF CROWN

Perennial Mexican Pacific League powerhouse Mazatlan has clinched the second half title, and will be going into the MexPac playoffs with the league’s best overall record. The Venados were 23-10 heading into the final weekend of the regular season, four games ahead of 19-14 Guasave with two games left on the schedule.


The MexPac playoffs are set to begin Monday, with Mazatlan facing defending champion Obregon, Guasave will take on Hermosillo and first half winner Los Mochis takes on Caribbean Series host Mexicali. The three first round series winners will move on to the semis, as will the so-called “Lucky Loser” (the first round loser with the best series record among the three teams defeated in an opening set).

Mazatlan’s Christian Quintero is on his way to the batting title with a .357 average, while Mochis pitcher Arturo Lopez leads MexPac moundmen with seven wins.
