Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Jaguars, 3-1
The Rio de Janeiro Jaguars have a critical edge over the Mexico City Aztecs in the League Championship Series, thanks to the veteran arm of Chinh Tran-Dinh.

Tran-Dinh, 35, put on a dominant performance at Rio de Janeiro Grounds, leading the Jaguars to victory, 3-1, in a pivotal Game 5. Rio de Janeiro is now one game away from the WBA Championship Series, leading the best-of-7 series by a margin of 3-2. Mexico City will need to win both remaining games to advance.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Jaguars had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when third baseman Dae-hwan Koo hit a 2-run home run. The home run came off Christian Perron and made the score 3-0, Jaguars. Koo went 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Rio de Janeiro skipper Echo 127.

The next game is set to be played for Saturday, October 23rd , 2151 at Ballpark of Mexico City in Mexico City.
