Small world: In the semifinals of the Mexican Winter League baseball playoffs last week, Tucson pitchersΒ Pat McCoyΒ of Sahuaro andΒ Manny BarredaΒ of Sahuarita opposed one another in Los Mochis. Barredaβs Los Mochis team prevailed over McCoyβs Culiacan club, 4-1. Barreda, who pitched a no-hitter in November, allowed two hits in eight innings. The two were high school rivals, meeting in a 2005 Sahuarita Invitational game in which McCoy beat Barreda 6-3. They also pitched against one another in a Double-A game back in 2013. McCoy has since pitched in 14 big-league games, for Detroit, while Barreda, now 28, has not moved past Double-A.Β
