With the Cuban Yulián Rondón as their offensive spark plug, Olmecas de Tabasco (7-8) beat the women’s Diablos Rojos 10-7 (9-6) in the Mexican Softball League and put the series 1-0 in their favor.
In the duel, which was suspended for a few minutes due to the seismic alert in Mexico City, the disciples of manager María Luisa Hernández took the lead from the first inning by capitalizing on a rally from three runs that increased to seven in the second roll.
The harvest of the Tabasco team at the Ciudad Universitaria baseball stadium grew to eight in the fifth inning, although Diablos also managed to get the shutout and hit three to put the score provisionally at 8-3. In the sixth, the Olmecas reached double digits.
A home run by Ximena Guerrero to left field, also in the sixth, brought Diablos closer, but it was not enough to complete the somersault.

Good dividends
