What a week in baseball it has been, and things are sure to intensify as the Winter League Semifinals are going into the home stretch. This has been one of the most exciting playoff seasons in recent memory with the top three teams edging themselves out and the quality of play elevating as each game has been played. In recent history Licey and Aguilas have dominated the post seasons, but this year the re-emergence of the Gigantes de San Francisco has added extra tension and drama to the baseball season, much to the delight of baseball fans. Last night the Aguilas dealt a heavy blow to the Gigantes championship aspirations as they swept the Gigantes in a day-night double header. In game one the Aguilas held on tight to a one run lead to win 3-2 and in the second game the Aguilas won 2-0. With the win the Aguilas secured a spot in the baseball finals. Licey did their part as they pounced on the Azucareros 5-0, giving the Azucareros their 16th loss on a row. The win by Licey tied them in second place with the Gigantes setting up what could be the definitive night in this year's season. There are two games left in the season and anything is possible.
