SANTIAGO, Dominican Republic (AP) -- Robert Saucedo hit a three-run homer in the top of the 10th inning to lead Mexico's Obregon City Yaquis to a 7-4 victory over the Dominican Republic's Licey Tigers on Wednesday in the Caribbean Series.
Mexico (1-4) won its first game in the four-team tournament and broke Licey's (4-1) unbeaten streak. Mexico scored three runs in the ninth to tie it.

HOUSTON -- "All right," was the assessment of legendary Mexican goalkeeper Jorge Campos as he left his luxury box following Mexico's 2-2 tie with the U.S. on Wednesday. "Next time we'll win," he said, before cracking a smile and sticking his tongue out to reveal he wasn't so sure.
El Tri failed for the 10th straight time to beat the U.S. on American soil, but this time the dominating contingent of Mexican supporters in the Houston crowd of 70,103 wasn't left as disappointed as usual.
Importance: It is vital that we take notice of Mexico's succes in the world of sports. Sports often provides something for Mexicans to rally behind and have pride in. This is especially true with regard to the upcoming summer Olympics in Beijing.
