The most bitter rivalry in the Mexican Baseball League witnessed another memorable chapter that tilted towards the Tigers, who sealed their pass to the Southern Zone final by defeating the Diablos Rojos 6-5.
The felines took care of their arch-rivals in extra innings to take the series 4-1 and thus avoid a return to their opponent's home.
The quintanarroense team scored five runs in the first inning and from there they were stifled by Patrick Johnson and company until the scarlets managed to tie the game in the eighth inning.
The visitors had a clear opportunity to take the lead in the tenth inning when they threatened with bases loaded and no outs, but a double play killed their hopes and opened the door for the home team's victory.
The Tigers responded in a similar way but with the difference that Jason Bourgeois connected the hit at the opportune moment to advance to the Championship Series against the Leones de Yucatán, who hours earlier eliminated the Bravos de León.
