Over the weekend the Estrellas Orientales ended the Leones del Escogido's 5-game winning streak, defeating them in their own park 5-3 on Friday night. That same evening, Ricardo Nanita hit a grand slam homerun to seal an 8-2 victory for the Toros over the Gigantes del Cibao in the Francisco Micheli Stadium in La Romana. In the Estadio Cibao, the Aguilas Cibaenas were defeated by their bitterest rivals, the Tigres del Licey with a score of 3-1.
On Saturday, the Toros (or Azucareros) defeated Escogido 3-2 and went into first place in the standings. In San Francisco de Macoris, the Gigantes del Cibao pulled a game out of the fire with a last inning sacrifice fly by Luis Durango to defeat the reigning champions from Licey by a score of 4-3. And over in San Pedro de Macoris, the Aguilas Cibaenas were able to defeat the Estrellas Orientales in a shoot-out 10-6.
On Sunday, "eternal rivals", Licey and Escogido battled it out in the Quisqueya Stadium, but the battle was a lopsided victory for the Leones over the Tigres, 10-1. With the victory Escogido stopped its worst skid of the season at 2 defeats and stayed in second place in the standings. The Aguilas had to go into the fearsome Julian Javier Stadium where the Gigantes del Cibao were nearly unbeatable. And yes, they were defeated 6-4 in a game that saw the Aguilas try and battle back from a 0-5 deficit. In the Francisco Micheli Stadium in La Romana, the Toros kept their hold on first place with a 7-4 victory over the Estrellas Orientales.
