Things are getting interesting as the Dominican Winter League round robin tournament enters its final stages. The Gigantes, who in previous years have had monstrous late-year collapses, have maintained their status, winning five of their eight tournament games, and taking the top position in the standings. The Tigres have stayed on the heels of the Gigantes, also winning five of their eight games. The Tigres have looked strong as of late, after a shaky regular season. Surprisingly enough the Toros are still in the playoff hunt, being only 1.5 games out of the lead. And in an odd twist the Aguilas, last year's tournament champions, are sitting in the cellar with a 2-5 record. In last night's action the Tigres continued to add to the Aguilas' misery with and 8-2 pounding at the Estadio Cibao while the Gigantes gave the Toros a pounding with a 6-1 victory.
The Standings <b>Team <b>W-L <b>Avg. <b>Games Behind GIGANTES 5 - 3 .625 -- TIGRES 5 - 3 .625 -- TOROS 4 - 5 .444 1.5 AGUILAS 2 - 5 .286 2.5
