This confrontation occurs only 24 hours after their encounter in the round-robin phase. In their last match, the Tomateros staged a spectacular comeback, scoring six runs in the eighth inning, driven by a home run by Estevan Florial, to win 10-7.\nDespite the fact that the result did not affect the final positions, the Mexican offense demonstrated its potential. The Tomateros manager, Lorenzo Bundy, trusts his team and the potential of David Reyes as a starting pitcher.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We know we hadn&#8217;t played at our level, especially offensively.
