HERMOSILLO, Mexico -- Douglas Clark, a Springfield, Mass., native and 15-year minor league veteran playing in his third Mexican League season, hit a home run in the top of the 18th inning and Mexico's Yaquis de Obregon beat the Dominican Republic's Escogido Leones 4-3 to take the Caribbean Series final in a record 7-hour, 28-minute game.

This is the second Caribbean Series title in three years for the Yaquis and the seventh for Mexican teams. It was the longest Caribbean Series game in history, breaking the previous record of 6 hours, 13 minutes in 2007 when Tony Batista's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 18th gave the Dominican Republic a 4-3 victory over Venezuela. The 21 pitchers used in the game also set a Caribbean Series record.
