Leones lose Game 3 in Serie del Rey to Acereros
Merida, Yucatan — After bringing the Serie del Rey, the national baseball finals, home to Parque Kukulcán Alamo, the Leones have lost some ground.
Noah Perio hit a two-run single in the fourth inning, leading the Acereros del Norte to a 6-3 win over the Leones de Yucatan, and a 2-1 series lead, on Friday.
Yucatan answered in the bottom of the inning when Luis Juarez scored on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to two.
The Acereros later added two runs in the fifth and one in the eighth. In the fifth, Mejia hit a two-run single, while Eric Young Jr. scored on a double play in the eighth.
Francisco Peguero doubled and singled twice, driving in a run and also scoring one for Monclova.
Monclova right-hander Conor Harber (5-2) picked up the win after allowing two runs on four hits over five innings. Jose Samayoa (10-6) took the loss after allowing three runs and six hits over 3 2/3 innings.
“We are calm, tomorrow we will go out with the same objective and I trust Crenshaw (today’s starting pitcher) fully,” said Leones Manager Gerónimo Gil. “It is very motivating to see the stadium full and feel that support from our fans.”
Crenshaw (1-1) faces Geno Encina (0-2) on the mound.
