Mazatlan, Guasave take 2-1 Series Leads
Lundberg signs with Dodgers, leaves Algodoneros
The Mexican Pacific League semifinals got underway last week, and after Saturday�s games, both the defending champion Mazatlan Venados and Guasave Algodoneros have taken 2 games to 1 leads in their respective best-of-7 series. Mazatlan defeated the Navojoa Mayos 5-2 Saturday night behind the big bat of Pedro Castellano, while Guasave shut out Hermosillo 6-0 as Algodoneros starter Edgar Leyva turned in a stellar performance on the mound.
Castellano launched a three-run homer for the Venados to break a scoreless tie and Mazatlan never looked back. Deer starter Pablo Ortega was touched by the Mayos for 12 hits over seven innings, but pitched out of enough jams to limit Navojoa to just two runs in posting the win. Closer Mark Worrell tossed a scoreless ninth inning to collect the save.
Mario Mendoza Jr. pitched well for Navojoa, but was ultimately done in by Castellano�s bomb. Mendoza allowed four runs and six hits over six innings in absorbing the loss. The Mayos actually outhit Mazatlan by a 14-9 margin for the game, as Aaron Holbert went 4-for-5 with an RBI single and both Doug Clark and Oscar Robles registered 3-hit nights.
In Hermosillo, the Naranjeros were stymied by Leyva and his relievers in a one-hit 6-0 shutout loss to the Algodoneros. Leyva went seven strong innings, allowing just one safety and striking out seven Naranjeros batsmen en route to his second win of the postseason. He got all the support he needed when Dave Doster stroked a two-run single and Mario Valenzuela crashed a solo home run.
Conversely, Hermosillo starter Sergio Mitre was shaky in his two innings of work. Mitre coughed up six walks, two hits and uncorked a wild pitch before manager Lorenzo Bundy brought out the hook. Mitre, who is now 0-2 in the playoffs, was booed by the Naranjeros fans before Bundy put an end to the walkfest.
Mazatlan will play host to Navojoa today and tomorrow, while Guasave will play two more in Hermosillo. The Algodoneros will have to continue their matchup with the Naranjeros without ace pitcher Spike Lundberg. Lundberg, who led the MexPac in wins and ERA during the regular season and already had three wins and a save in the playoffs, was signed last week by the Los Angeles Dodgers on the urging of scout Mike Brito. He will take a physical for the Dodgers, who plan to add him to their 40-man roster heading into spring training. Prior to this winter, Lundberg was coming off a rather nondescript season as a reliever for Syracuse in the International League and was a free agent looking for a place to land in 2006. It�s safe to say his season in the Mexican Pacific League raised his profile immeasurably.
