Charros de Jalisco Make History with 5 Consecutive Home Runs in 8th Inning

In a historic display of power hitting, the Charros de Jalisco set a new record in the Liga Mexicana de Béisbol (LMB) by hitting five consecutive home runs in the 8th inning. This remarkable feat led them to a 7-1 victory over the Tigres de Quintana Roo on Sunday at the Estadio Panamericano.

The Charros' achievement surpasses the previous record of four consecutive home runs, which was held by El Águila de Veracruz (2005), Toros de Tijuana (2022), and Conspiradores de Querétaro (2024). Additionally, they equaled the record for most home runs in a single inning (five), set by El Águila de Veracruz earlier this season.

The back-to-back home runs were hit by Luis Sardiñas, Vimael Machín, Anthony Giansanti, Greg Bird, and Oswaldo Arcia. Luis Sardiñas started the historic inning with a home run, followed by Machín, Giansanti, Bird, and Arcia, who hit the final home run off Juan Cossio's pitch.

The game was closely contested until the explosive 8th inning. The Charros led 1-0, thanks to a 4th-inning run scored by Giansanti. Matt Minnick, Jalisco's starting pitcher, delivered a stellar performance with six scoreless innings, allowing four hits, one walk, and striking out seven batters.

Cameron Gann, the Tigres' starting pitcher, also pitched effectively, going six innings and giving up three hits, one run, three walks, and striking out two. However, the Charros' 8th inning surge proved too much for the Tigres' bullpen, with Raúl Barrón and Juan Cossio unable to stem the tide.

The 3,500 spectators at the Estadio Panamericano witnessed a historic moment when the Charros de Jalisco swept the series against the Tigres de Quintana Roo. The atmosphere was electric as fans celebrated the historic achievement. a href="https://www.albat.com/beismex/LMB-Charros-de-Jalisco-consigue-historica-victoria-al-imponer-nuevo-record-20240602-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">achievement.

The Charros' victory marked their fifth win in the LMB, and they will now enjoy a well-deserved rest before embarking on a triple-header road trip to León, Querétaro, and Tijuana, starting on June 4.

The Charros de Jalisco's five consecutive home runs in the 8th inning not only secured their victory but also etched their names in the LMB's 98-year history. As they prepare for their upcoming games, they carry the momentum of this historic achievement.
