With minor changes in the standings thus far, the teams in this year's winter league championships have either found their groove or slump. The surprises included the consistency of the Toros, which have kept their grip on first place. Licey and Escogido have their eye on that top spot and are only one game behind, while the Aguilas and Gigantes have continued to give their fans ulcers. Both teams are now four games behind the lead and struggling, and the Estrellas have taken their regular spot at the bottom of the standings. But management has decided on a personnel change that could give the Estrellas a boost. The team has fired manager Carlos Juan Bernhardt and replaced him with former first base coach Rodney Linares. During last night's game the Escogido once again relied on the bat of Conor Jackson, who led them to a 4-3 victory over Licey. In a second game the Estrellas did manage a victory against the Toros, 6-4, behind the arm of Evan MacLane. And in the night's final game foreigners John Halama and Kevin Barker guided the Aguilas to a 9-1 victory over the Gigantes.
