A transborder baseball celebration
Ontario, California will become the epicenter of Mexican baseball this September as the Ontario Tower Buzzers schedule a two‑day exhibition series at ONT Field. The games, set for September 18 and 19, pit the league‑leading Naranjeros de Hermosillo against the four‑time LMP champion Águilas de Mexicali, bringing a taste of the Mexican Pacific League to the heart of Southern California.
Both teams carry storied legacies. The Naranjeros, based in Hermosillo, Sonora, boast a record 17 LMP titles and two Caribbean Series championships, cementing their status as the most decorated franchise in the league. The Águilas, hailing from Mexicali, Baja California, have secured four LMP crowns of their own, making their rivalry one of the most anticipated matchups in the sport.
Tickets, giveaways, and community spirit
Season members can purchase tickets beginning this Friday at 9 a.m., with public sales opening on August 19 at the same time Pacific. The event will feature a Fernando Valenzuela commemorative cap giveaway, a nod to the beloved Dodgers legend, and will be integrated into the Dodgers’ Mexican Heritage Night celebrations on August 22, highlighting the organization’s commitment to cultural outreach.
Beyond the competition, the series serves as a bridge between the Dodgers’ minor‑league operations and the vibrant Mexican fan base. By hosting the exhibition at ONT Field, the Tower Buzzers reinforce their role as a community‑focused affiliate, offering fans a unique opportunity to experience top‑level baseball while supporting local charitable initiatives.
