Overview

  • Mexico trailed Puerto Rico 4-0 before rallying for an 11-5 win in an elimination game sparked by Gregorio Madrid’s grand slam and second home run.
  • Madrid returned to the mound the following day, delivering six innings of one-run ball with nine strikeouts to stymie Panama’s lineup.
  • Xavier Nolasco produced a game-winning RBI single in the sixth inning to secure a 2-1 walk-off victory, extending Mexico’s tournament life.
  • After opening the World Series with a loss to Chinese Taipei, the Liga Swing Perfecto de Chihuahua has now won two straight elimination games under the LLWS double-elimination format.
