MEXPAC SEMIFINAL FIELD SET

The final four teams are ready to square off in the Mexican Pacific League semifinals after three first round series were wrapped up last week. Opening set winners Mazatlan, Los Mochis and Hermosillo will be joined by “lucky loser” Guasave in the semis.


Mazatlan wrapped up their series with defending champion Obregon last Tuesday by topping the Yaquis, 6-5. Freddy Sandoval crushed a three-run homer during a six-run eighth inning for the Venados, who won the series, 4 games to 1.

Mochis and Hermosillo wrapped up their respective series wins Thursday night. Mochis shut out Caribbean Series host Mexicali, 4-0, as Rafael Diaz spun a six-hitter with seven strikeout for the Caneros; while the Naranjeros topped Guasave, 6-4, behind Jose Luis Sandoval’s three-run homer. Guasave earned the nod over Mexicali for the last berth by virtue of a better runs differential against Hermosillo than the Aguilas had against Mochis.
