Caribbean Series Semifinals: Culiacán vs. Escogido and Jalisco vs. Santurce

Caribbean Series Semifinals: Epic Battles in Guadalajara

Guadalajara is preparing to vibrate with the semifinals of the Caribbean Series, which will be played this Friday at the Pan American Baseball Stadium. Two exciting matches will define the finalists of this prestigious tournament.

The first matchup, scheduled for 3:00 PM (Eastern Time), will be a rematch between the Tomateros de Culiacán (Green Mexico) and the Leones del Escogido (Dominican Republic). Both teams already faced each other in the group stage, where the Tomateros achieved a spectacular comeback, driven by a home run from Estevan Florial, to win 10-7.

We know we hadn’t played at our level, especially offensively. That game showed what we are capable of.

For this crucial game, the Tomateros will have David Reyes on the mound, while the Leones will send Oscar de la Cruz.

Cangrejeros and Charros: For a Place in the Final

The second semifinal will pit the Cangrejeros de Santurce (Puerto Rico) against the Charros de Jalisco (Red Mexico), the host team. In their only previous encounter, Jalisco defeated Santurce with an outstanding performance by Luis Fernando Miranda. Benji Gil, manager of the Charros, has confirmed to Manuel Bañuelos as the starting pitcher for this important challenge. Michael Wielansky has been a key figure for the Charros, standing out with an impressive batting average during the tournament. Omar López, leader of the Cangrejeros, has not yet announced his starting pitcher. Los Federales de Chiriquí (Panama) said goodbye to the tournament without victories in the initial phase.
