Liga Mexicana playoffs update
After three fairly one-sided series (Sultanes vs. Diablos Rojos 4-0; Rieleros vs. Saraperos 4-1; Aguilas vs. Olmecas 4-1), we had a humdinger of a series between Tigres de Quintana Roo and Guerreros de Oaxaca.
Tigres won the first two games at home. Guerreros won their three home games. Back in Cancún, Tigres won game six 5-4 in the 10th. And earlier this evening in...

In the Zona Norte, division winners Sultanes de Monterrey won their first two home games vs. Diablos Rojos del México (6-2 and 6-5), then went to town last night at Foro Sol in a depressing game to watch, especially considering there were two Monterrey fans right behind...
