Baseball updates

The baseball season marches on and the road to the playoffs is on the horizon. The Gigantes refuse to give away an inch in the Winter League standings as they beat Licey last night 5-3. The Gigantes hold a tight grip on first and they are now 4.5 games ahead of third place Licey. The Aguilas are still in the hunt as they kept their claws on second place after a 6-3 victory over the Estrellas. The Aguilas are now 1.5 games behind the Gigantes, and things look to stay that way through the end of the regular season, barring a late season collapse by the Gigantes. In the battle for last place, the lowly Toros beat up on the Escogido 8-2. Though both cellar dwellers are more than 10.5 games behind the lead, they are only a few games behind for the fourth and final spot in the round robin playoff series, so things could get interesting in the next weeks.
