Monterrey Sultanes gave another blow to the table by defeating Jalisco Charros 3-2 at home, a result that allowed them to take a 2-0 lead in the series. The regiomontano team took advantage of their home condition and will now travel to Jalisco with the possibility of getting closer to the next round of the playoffs.
Sultanes wins at home
Monterrey's runs came in the third, sixth, and seventh innings, while Charros responded with a run in the fifth inning and another in the top of the ninth. Jalisco had the opportunity to complete a comeback in the final episode, but Sultanes managed to contain the visiting attack and secured a victory that leaves the tapatios on the ropes.
Harold Ramírez responds with the bat
The victory ended in the hands of Jake Higginbotham, while Chris Ellis took care of closing the game and securing the save to ensure the triumph of the regiomontanos. Harold Ramírez was one of the great protagonists of the local offense, producing two of the three runs of Sultanes and connecting three hits during the game. Omar Narváez also had a standout performance with the bat, getting two hits, contributing to an offense that found a way to overcome Charros' pitching.
After a day of rest, the series will move to Jalisco next Wednesday. Charros needs to wake up immediately if they want to avoid being on the brink of elimination against a Sultanes team that already has control.
