Friday night saw the opening games of the 2009-2010 Dominican Winter League Baseball Tournament that is dedicated to the three Alou brothers: Felipe, Mateo and Jesus. The first games were regional, with the Gigantes from San Francisco de Macoris traveling over to Santiago to fact the Aguilas Cibaenas in the managing debut of Felix Fermin as the head of the Gigantes. Unfortunately for Fermin, the Aguilas defeated the Gigantes, 5-3. In Santo Domingo, The Tigres del Licey and the Leones del Escogido renewed their traditional battle, with the Tigres winning the first game, 6-3. Finally, over in La Romana, the Azucareros del Este (also called the Toros) defeated the Estrellas Orientales 4-2.
In Saturday's action, the Estrellas defeated the Leones del Escogido, 7-3, the Tigres feasted on the Aguilas, 2-0 and the Toros defeated the Gigantes 8-0. On Sunday, the Gigantes del Cibao defeated the Aguilas, 15-9, in a game in which the Aguilas took a 3-1 advantage, lost it and tied the game at 4 runs apiece in the third inning. Then the dam opened and the Gigantes scored 7 runs in the fifth inning and the game was never in doubt. In Santo Domingo, the Leones del Escogido gave the Tigres del Licey their first defeat, 5-3, in the venerable Estadio Quisqueya. The win tied the City Champ competition at one win each.
