Bowens’ Grand Slam Lifts Naranjeros Past Charros 8-7 to Halt Skid and Force Series Decider

The win halted a five-game skid, setting up a deciding game in Hermosillo.

Overview

  • T.T. Bowens drove in five runs, including a grand slam, to power Hermosillo’s 8-7 victory over Jalisco in the second game of the series.
  • Matt Foster recorded the save after Orlando González earned the win, while Luis Payán took the loss for the Charros.
  • The result came a day after Jalisco’s 3-2 extra-innings win in which Tomohiro Anraku notched his first victory and Gerardo Reyes his first save of the season.
  • With the series level at one win each, a deciding matchup was scheduled at Estadio Fernando Valenzuela.
  • League-wide reports conflicted on other outcomes, with AP versions disagreeing on whether Tomateros beat the Yaquis for a sixth straight win or the Yaquis ended that streak, and some accounts listing differing Hermosillo scorelines and Bowens’ stats.
