After taking a 3-2 lead in the King's Series and returning home with the support of their fans, Sultanes manager Roberto Kelly said that they still need to win a fourth game to achieve the goal of winning the title of the Mexican Baseball League.
Kelly indicated that he is not surprised by the way Monterrey reacted after an umpire's decision prevented a double play that would have cleared the bases, and instead they received two runs that put them behind on the scoreboard in the fifth inning.
"Obviously we feel better because we are ahead, but the job is not finished, we still need to win one more game, so we cannot be overconfident because we have a very good opponent in front of us," said the Panamanian strategist.
"We know the team we have, this team does not give up, what they have done today does not surprise me because it is something they have practically done all year, so this team does not give up until the last out," said Kelly.
Kelly confirmed left-hander Cristian Castillo as the starter for Sunday's game in the capital of Nuevo León.
The slugger Zoilo Almonte said that the Sultanes' offense has the task of supporting the outstanding work that the pitching staff has been doing.
