History
The Mexican Softball League (LMS) was established on 20 September 2023 as the first professional softball league in Latin America. The Sultanes de Monterrey were one of the founding members of the league, alongside Bravos de León, Charros de Jalisco, Diablos Rojos del México, El Águila de Veracruz, and Olmecas de Tabasco; all of the teams were affiliated to baseball clubs from the Mexican League.[1][2]
The Sultanes debuted with a 1–0 win against El Águila de Veracruz on 25 January 2024, on the opening day of the inaugural season of the Mexican Softball League. The game, played in the Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey had a record attendance of 13,408 spectators. The winning pitcher, Yanina Treviño, threw the first no-hitter in the history of the league, allowing only two base on balls in seven innings.[3][4]
Treviño threw another no hitter on 22 February 2024 in the Sultanes 2–0 victory against the Charros de Jalisco in the Estadio Panamericano, again giving only two base on balls.[5][6]
The team finished the 2024 regular season in first place with a 15–9 record. In the postseason, the Sultanes defeated El Águila de Veracruz 3 games to 2.[7] In the final series, the Serie de la Reina (Queen's Series), the Sultanes faced the Charros de Jalisco, losing the series in four games, 1–3.[8][9] Yanina Treviño finished the season as the leader in wins with 11.[10]
