Backed by an explosive offensive display and a solid effort from the pitching staff, the Tomateros de Culiacán defeated the Águilas de Mexicali 10-3 to clinch the series on the road.
The Guinda lineup solved starter Ernesto Zaragoza early, erupting for a four-run rally in the very first inning. Orlando Martínez sparked the attack with an RBI single to center field to draw first blood, followed by a double from Jon Singleton to drive in Joey Meneses for a 2-0 lead. Later in the frame, Fabricio Macías capped the surge with a two-run single to right field, giving Culiacán a commanding 4-0 advantage after one.
Tomateros struck again in the second frame when Cuban outfielder Orlando Martínez lined an RBI single to left field to bring Joey Meneses across the plate.
Lorenzo Bundy’s squad kept punishing the home pitching staff in the fifth inning. Luis Verdugo led off with a single to center, setting the stage for Fabricio Macías to launch a two-run home run that extended Culiacán's lead to 7-1.
An inning later, Culiacán tacked on another run via a sacrifice fly from Luis Roberto Verdugo, plating Joey Meneses.
The final blow came in the seventh frame with two outs: Joey Meneses drove in the ninth run before Orlando Martínez delivered once again with an RBI single—his third run batted in of the night—to lock in the final 10-3 score.
Cuban right-hander Norge Ruiz earned the victory on the mound, tossing five complete innings while allowing just one run and striking out four.
With the win, the Sinaloan capital squad takes the series two games to one, securing their fifth series victory of the season and third on the road.
