Charros of high emotions
The Guadalajara team began the game with a three-run deficit, but once again the power of their bats turned the game around and secured a victory, marking the start of Roberto Vizcarra's era as the manager of the team.
With a score of 9-4, the Charros secured a win and now have a record of two wins and five losses in the start of the second round of the Mexican Pacific League.
What a way to welcome Roberto Vizcarra - in the top of the first inning, Octavio Acosta faced seven opponents, gave up four hits, and allowed three runs for the visiting team.
A combination of timely hitting by the Naranjeros and an error by the Charros made the scoreboard intense in the first inning, with a three-run disadvantage and a lot of work to do from the mound.
In the bottom of the first, the Charros responded with just one run - the home team's batting came alive with a run driven in by Amador. Then, with Zazueta in the second base, Saltalamacchia hit a single, but a good throw from the left fielder put Zazueta out at home plate.
In the bottom of the third inning, the Charros scored their second run with a home run by Alford to center field, bringing the score to 3-2.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Charros did a lot of damage - Guty Murillo hit a single, Gabriel Gutiérrez received a walk, and Édson García, the ninth batter, drove in two runs with a long single to turn the game around, giving the locals a 4-2 lead. In the bottom of the fifth, the team added one more run, widening the gap between the two teams.
In the top of the seventh inning, the visiting team scored their fourth run, making it a close game again, with the Charros leading 5-4 and only six outs away from victory.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Dewees hit a triple to the right field alley, awakening the nine thousand fans who were nervous about the close score. The bases were loaded with Charros, and Alford cleared the bases with a triple, adding three more runs. In that same inning, Zazueta drove in Alford, sealing the ninth run of the night.
