Guerrero was sensational, scattering three walks over his five frames.
Mexico got on the board in the second inning after Ulises Ortiz singled and later scored on a groundout and then two wild pitches. The victors scored their second and final run in the fifth inning after Antonio Guerrero crossed home plate following a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch.
Naivmar Angela had a great day on the hill for Aruba, allowing just one earned run and two hits in five innings, striking out three.
Mexico now advances to play Latin America (Barquisimeto, Venezuela). Aruba will play the loser of the Cuba (Villa Clara) and Europe-Africa (Brno, Czech Republic) matchup in an elimination game.
