Olmecas de Tabasco 4, Pericos de Puebla 3 (11 Innings) - An RBI single by Carlos Arellano in the bottom of the 11th scored Angelo Castellano to give the Olmecas de Tabasco a 4-3 win and even the Serie Campeonato in the Zona Sur at one game apiece.

Tabasco grabbed a 2-0 lead early, getting their first run in the bottom of the second when Alan Espinoza singled back to the mound and Puebla pitcher Fernando Lozano's throw to first was terrible, clattering into foul territory and allowing Seth Beer to score. Two batters later, Arellano's first RBI single of the game scored Espinoza to double the lead.

Sergio Alcantara's fourth-inning sac fly cut the lead to 2-1, but an RBI double by Randy Romero scored Jasson Atondo in the bottom of the seventh to put Tabasco up 3-1.

In the top of the ninth, Tabasco's Jimmy Cordero left his 3-1 offering over the middle of the plate and Luis Castro sent it over the wall, tying the game with a two-run homer and handing Cordero his second blown save of the playoffs.

Tabasco's bullpen kept the game tied at three until Arellano came up in the 11th, delivering his second RBI single of the game and tying the series for the Olmecas.

Game 3 is Tuesday night at 9 p.m. EDT, with starting pitchers for both teams yet to be announced.
