The Crimson Gang returns to the Diamonds after eliminating Aguila de Veracruz in four matches. The Poblanos were defeated in six duels by the Leones de Yucatán, but were left with the top losers named, making them rivals to the capital.
In the 2022 regular season, Rojos and Pericos met six times, three at CDMX and three in Puebla, ending the balance in favor of Colorado 4-2, who won both encounters.
With that backdrop, Diablos and Pericos will face each other again starting on Saturday, in the District Series to win four out of seven games, in which the Reds have a court advantage at home, so they open this weekend at Alfredo’s Harp Hilo.
STARTERS FIRST GAME
Match 1 (16 hours) Gabriel Yenoa (PD) vs Jeffrey Nino (PD).
After overrunning Egaila, the Red Devils faced five days without playing. Monday was a day to travel, while from Tuesday to Friday they held two training sessions and two simulation matches to help their players not lose their rhythm against the Pricos.
After the first two games, the series will move to Puebla, where matches are scheduled to start Tuesday through Thursday at Hermanos Cerdan Stadium.
Mexico vs Puebla in PLAYOFFS
This will be the ninth time in history that the Devils will face a team from Puebla in the playoffs, as the ‘Scarlet Gang’ and the Pueblans have faced each other 8 times in these instances, with a record charged to the Capitals since they’ve won seven of those matches.
