Tomateros de Culiacán celebrates their 11th championship title

With a mega parade through the main roads of this city, and in front of thousands of fans, the Tomateros de Culiacán team showed off their 11th trophy that accredits them as champions of the 2017-18 LMP season.

The "guinda" team defeated Mayos de Navojoa last night in extra innings by a score of 6-4, securing their 11th crown in the Mexican Pacific League (LMP) and earning a spot to compete in the 2018 Caribbean Series starting next Friday.

The fans of the "guinda" club took to the streets of this city to cheer on the championship team of the winter baseball league, which arrived in the morning from the city of Navojoa, Sonora, where the last game of the Finals Series was held.

The parade started on Avenida Álvaro Obregón heading towards the old Ángel Flores Stadium and continued to the new Tomateros stadium, where a popular fair will take place, featuring the classic band music that is popular in this city.

During the parade, people were able to see and greet all the players of the "guinda" team, who traveled on an uncovered trailer adapted with railings, allowing fans to get close to take pictures and get autographs.

To prevent any kind of disturbance, the parade is escorted by dozens of traffic and security police officers, who make the necessary traffic closures and then reopen the roads as the parade passes by.

In the coming days, the Tomateros de Culiacán club will select several players as reinforcements, in preparation for their participation in the 2018 Caribbean Series, starting next Friday at the Pan American Stadium in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
