Baseball update

[NewsWhore]

Last night, the Tigres del Licey put an end to their losing streak against the Aguilas Cibaenas with a dramatic ninth inning that left the Aguilas alone on the field. The game was tied when a sacrifice fly permitted the winning run to score from third base. This was the last game between these rivals, the teams with the most wins in Dominican baseball history. The Aguilas won this year's series eight games to two. An Aguilas win would have left them in sole possession of first place as the Azucareros from la Romana defeated the league leading Gigantes del Cibao in San Francisco de Macoris in a tight 2-1 game. With the victory, the Azucareros climbed to within one game of the playoffs, because over in San Pedro de Macoris, the hapless Leones del Escogido enjoyed a rare victory over the Estrellas Orientales, 6-3.
