Last night the Tigres del Licey defeated their big rivals from Santiago, the Aguilas Cibaenas 8-2 in the Quisqueya Stadium in Santo Domingo. A triple by Emilio Boinifacio cleared the bases in the sixth inning to give the Tigres the winning advantage. The Aguilas left 13 men on base and got eleven hits.
Over in San Francisco de Macoris, the Gigantes del Cibao guaranteed their participation in the Round Robin section of the tournament, beating the mighty Toros del Este 3-2, as they took advantage of three errors by the La Romana team.
In San Pedro de Macoris, the Leones del Escogido kept alive their hopes of reaching the Round Robin part of the playoffs as they defeated the now discarded Estrellas Orientales 8-6 in a hard fought battle. The Leones took an 8-0 lead into the ninth inning and the game seemed to be a lock, but the Estrellas came back with a 6 run rally to scare the Santo Domingo team. Juan Richardson hit a solo home run, followed by a bases loaded home run by Denis Phillips and still another home run by Tony Blanco gave the Estrellas their six run rally.
