Venezuelan Winter League

Caracas 9, Margarita 6
Daniel Mayora continued his torrid start with a five-RBI night for Caracas. Mayora went 4-for-5, including a two-run homer as part of a four-run sixth inning that gave Caracas the lead for good.

Magallanes 6, Lara 5
First-place Magallanes scored two runs in the ninth inning, walking off on Lew Ford's sacrifice fly and improving to 10-3 on the season. The comeback spoiled a solid start from Cleveland right-hander Chris Jakubauskas, who tossed five innings without allowing an earned run for Lara. Joc Pederson, the Dodgers' No. 1 prospect, walked four times and made his only official at-bat count. Pederson launched his third homer of the season in the fifth inning, giving Lara a three-run lead. Magallanes scored three in the seventh to cut the deficit to 5-4, setting the stage for Ford's heroics. Box score

Caribes 7, Zulia 6 (11)
Luis Nunez's single plated Jose Castillo and gave Caribes a thrilling walk-off victory. Castillo led the way with four hits, while Cory Aldridge chipped in with three. Philadelphia's Freddy Galvis went 3-for-6 with a homer and a double for Zulia. Box score

Aragua 6, La Guaira 5 (11)
Luis Maza's single plated Willson Contreras and gave Aragua a walk-off victory. Luis Sardinas, the No. 2 prospect in the Rangers' system, hit a leadoff single in the ninth inning for La Guaira and came around to score on a sac fly, tying the game at 5. That was Sardinas' only hit of the night, however, as his average dipped to .340. La Guaira designated hitter Alex Cabrera went 4-for-4. Box score

Dominican Winter League

Licey 6, Gigantes 4

Mexican Pacific League

Mexicali 7, Guasave 3

Veteran Mike Jacobs -- currently with Arizona -- added his second home run in as many nights, tying the game in the fourth inning with a two-run shot. Jesus Cota homered for Guasave.  Box score

Hermosillo 5, Culiacan 1
Hermosillo continued its hot start to the season, improving to 9-1. The Angels' Barry Enright is now 3-0 after allowing just one run in five innings, putting his ERA at 1.10 after three starts.

Obregon 3, Los Mochis 1
Obregon scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning in a come-from-behind victory. Barbaro Canizares capped a 3-for-3 night with his go-ahead two-run single in the frame, plating Albino Contreras and Dan Robertson. The comeback spoiled a solid outing from Los Mochis starter Tomas Solis, who worked 6 1/3 scoreless frames, allowing just four hits while striking out six. Rolando Valdez -- formerly of the Padres' organization -- tossed seven solid frames for Obregon. Box score

Mazatlan 5, Navojoa 0
