The Oxford-based Tri-County squad now enters the consolation bracket to determine the Iron Man Champion.

Mexico’s Luciano Bellazetin tripled to bring home a run and open the scoring, and Juan Pablo Castaneda doubled home another run for Mexico. A sacrifice fly and a run on an error stretched Mexico’s lead to 4-0 in the first inning.

Tri-County’s first run came in the bottom of the second when Nolan Cavers scored on Finley Cavers’ groundout, cutting the deficit to 4-1.

Mexico got the run back in the top of the third on a fielder’s choice, and another scored on an error in the top of the fifth to build the lead to 6-1.

Derrik Trybus singled home Finley Cavers for Tri-County’s second run in the bottom of the fifth.

Tri-County, which is now 2–2 at the World Series, loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth, but Mexico shut down the threat.
