First Seasons

They ended up losing against the Halcones UV Xalapa team who ended up being the eventual champions. In their second season they struggled as well but still managed to enter the postseason for second year in a row, again losing in the first round, this time being swept by the Pioneros de Quintana Roo. The following season they occupied the ninth seed again classifying to the playoffs, but losing to the worse qualified team, in the first round, the Barreteros de Zacatecas.
