The Mexican team, the Yaquis de Ciudad de Obregon, finally got their offense through immigration last night, as they beat up on the previously undefeated Tigres del Licey 7-4. Nelson Figueroa pitched 1 1\/3 innings to end the Licey threat and helped the Yaquis get their first win in this year’s tournament.
