GONZALEZ BROS LEAD MEX PAC TITLISTS TO SECOND PLACE

It was the Gonzalez Brothers Show at the Caribbean Series for the Mazatlan Venados, who finished second at 3-3. Adrian Gonzalez, a National League All-Star for San Diego in 2008, led all batters with three homers and eight RBIs. All three homers came Wednesday night against Licey in a wild 12-9 Venados win. Edgar Gonzalez, who hit .274 in 111 games playing next to his brother in San Diego last year, won the CS batting race with a .457 mark. Mazatlan shortstop Heber Gomez added a solid .400 average to the Mexican lineup.
Among Mazatlan pitchers, Mexican veteran Walter Silva was outstanding Monday night against Ponce, shutting out the Lions on three hits over seven innings. Although Silva lost the Series finale to Licey Saturday, he ended up with a 2.25 ERA and 13 Ks in 12 frames.
