The Sultans of Monterrey became the first finalist of the King Series by winning the Northern Zone division of the Mexican Baseball League, after defeating the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos 8-7 to win the series 4-2.
This is the thirteenth title that the Sultanes have won in the Northern Zone, so now they will seek their eleventh title in the LMB, where they await the winner between the Diablos and Oaxaca series.
Nomar Mazara was now the hero in the sixth game by connecting a hit that left the Tecos lying down in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Kennys Vargas and Cade Gotta each hit home runs to give the Tecolotes a 5-0 lead in the first two innings, but the Sultanes responded with runs in the next three innings.
Devils force seventh game
The South Zone champion will be decided on Sunday, after the Diablos tied the series 3-3 by beating the Guerreros de Oaxaca 11-10 on Saturday to force a seventh game.
Ricardo Valenzuela hit a home run in the second inning to give the Warriors a 4-0 lead.
The fourth inning brought the excitement to a head, with an eight-run rally that allowed the Devils to recover while José Marmolejo hit a home run to even the score.
Franklin Barreto was the star for the scarlet team by hitting a single with a bunt grounder to first to turn the score around 11-10 on the scoreboard.
