What games are left for Mexico?
The Mexican national team still has 3 games left, today against Dominican Republic, tomorrow against Puerto Rico and closes the regular phase against Venezuela, remember that they did not play a game against Curacao because of the bad state of the field due to the heavy rains in El Salvador, we are still waiting for the resolution of whether that game will be played or cancelled.
Absences
Neither team has any injured or suspended players so they will be able to count on their best players for tomorrow's game, even the Mexican team will be able to count on their best player Rainel Rosario who is their best player and who has already hit a home run in the tournament and in the Mexican Baseball League is the current winner of the Home Run Derby, without a doubt we are expecting a great game tomorrow.
Background
The two teams have never faced each other in the Central American and Caribbean Games, but without a doubt the big favorite to win is the Mexican team, as their start has been incredible and with the defense they have shown, they are without a doubt one of the favorites to fight for the gold medal in this edition in Salvador 2023.
How does the Puerto Rican national team fare?
For their part, the Puerto Rican team is in last place with a record of 4 games played, 1 game won and 3 games lost. If they lose tomorrow, they will almost be out of medal contention, so for them it will be a game of life and death, today they faced Curacao with whom they lost 3-2, leaving their path in these games very complicated, still having Mexico and the host El Salvador as their rivals, in this way the two teams arrive to another day of baseball in these Central American and Caribbean Games 2023.
How is the Mexican baseball team coming along?
The Mexican national team is currently the leader with 3 wins and 0 losses, today they will face the Dominican Republic where they will try to continue with this very good streak, they also have 21 innings without allowing a run so they are also one of the best defenders, tomorrow they will face a strong team like Puerto Rico, where without a doubt it will be a very strong game where Mexico will have to show that they are the favourites to win the gold medal.
