A three run homer by Julian Alonzo gave Mexico City an early 3-0 lead in the top of the second, but Vic Shufflebottom quickly surrendered 3 runs in the bottom of the second to the Cubs to tie the game.
After a disappointing Game 1 performance by our offense they've come alive though, with Gordon Stewart hitting a 3 run homer in the top of the fourth with Antonio Garcia adding an RBI single to give us a 7-3 lead.
Shufflebottom wouldn't give up another run and exit after six innings after allowing 3 runs on 5 hits while walking 2 and striking out 3. Our bullpen would take over with Claudio Gonzalez pitching a scoreless seventh and Brian Mewhinney pitching a pair of innings and giving up an unearned run.
We added two insurance runs in the eighth as the Conquistadors roll 9-4 to take a 2 games to 1 series lead.
