Blue Demons Capture Extra-Inning Win
The Mexico City Blue Demons did just enough to secure a victory over the Boston Patriots, 5-4, in 11 innings at Condor Nest. Nobody did more than pitcher Tom Johnston. Mexico City reliever Leonard Dennis snagged the win, upping his record to 2-0. Iiri Lahti shouldered the loss. The 9th-place Blue Demons improved to 17-19.

The game-ending blow was delivered by José Castejón in the bottom of the 11th. That's when he hit a solo home run off three-time Gold Ball winner Iiri Lahti to win it for Mexico City and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"The game of baseball will test you," said JJ Hoban, the Mexico City skipper. "This one tested us."
