LAMP: That’s Not a Great Way to End A Game; Urquidy Among Several Players To Get MLB Deals

Friday night in Los Mochis, the Caneros de Los Mochis had the game meet a difficult ending.

It was 4-3 in the bottom of the 10th, the Charros de Jalisco were leading after getting a sacrifice fly from Francisco Cordoba and a two-run single from Bligh Madras in the top of the 10th. The Caneros were just a run away from tying the game after Rodolfo Amador hit a two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the 10th.

With two outs, Alejandro Urias was at bat. He represented the tying run and had a full count. Charros reliever Trevor Clifton fired a curveball that Urias swung on and missed, but Cordoba, the Jalisco catcher, couldn’t handle it, and it went to the backstop. Urias broke for first on the dropped third strike, only to be called out for interference when the batboy picked up the baseball, ending the game.
