The Rosarito team earned its third victory in the Masters Tournament, a tribute to the “Hero of a Thousand Battles” José Castro Ontiveros “El Toro”, for players over 60 years old.

This time, they defeated the tough Tijuana team “El Atil,” managed by Abel Reyna.

Víctor Romero started on the mound for Rosarito, while for “El Atil,” Gustavo Juárez, better known as “El Mariano Rivera,” took the mound. However, he didn’t last long as a series of hits and unfortunate plays by his infield and outfield forced him to leave the game with the score unfavorable to his team, 6-1.

For the Rosarito team, Víctor Romero pitched a great game, although he was also the victim of some solid hits from the powerful opposing team and a few unfortunate plays, mainly by his infield.

Despite that, he managed to hold on until the fifth inning, and in the sixth, José Luis Rodríguez “El Puma” came in. However, he had to leave the game due to discomfort in his pitching arm, leaving the bases loaded with opposing players.

Joel Aguilar “El Cariñoso” then took the mound and immediately brought order to the game, forcing the opposing player to hit a ground ball to second base, where Miguel Hernández, “El Cuate,” turned a spectacular double play without assistance.

The next batter grounded out to first base, ending the opponent’s threat.

The best hitters were:

The veteran hero of a thousand battles, El Charly Valencia, the starting third baseman, who went 5-for-2 with an intentional walk.

José Luis Rodríguez went 3-for-2. Antonio Estrada, “El Keky,” also stood out with 3 hits in 5 at-bats, including a double.

For the opposing team, Rafael Reyna impressed with 2 hits in 4 at-bats, his brother Abel Reyna also went 2-for-4, and designated hitter Manuel Molina contributed with 2 hits in 4 at-bats.
