In what can be considered payback for last year's championship debacle at the hands of Licey, the Aguilas returned the favor this post-season by displaying an offensive explosion rarely seen in the Dominican Winter League. The Aguilas scored 21 runs in their last two games and played near-perfect baseball as they defeated Licey five games to two in the best of nine series. The Aguilas' performance can be classified as dominating, and it was as if Licey had no answer for the power of the Aguilas. With each swing of their bats the Aguilas deflated Licey's aspirations more and more. This is the 19th championship win for the Aguilas and it has added another chapter to the most vibrant rivalry in Dominican baseball. The Aguilas will now head on to Carolina, Puerto Rico to face Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Mexico in the Serie del Caribe.
The Dominican Republic is now getting ready for the Serie del Caribe, which is being held in Carolina, Puerto Rico between 2 and 7 February. The Aguilas will represent the Dominican Republic this year with hopes of capturing their fifth Serie del Caribe championship. Licey leads all teams with nine championships in the history of the tournament, followed by Cangrejos de Santurce (Puerto Rico) with five championships and the Aguilas with four. The Serie del Caribe brings together the winning teams from the Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, Dominican and Mexican baseball leagues for a five-day baseball tournament. The DR has won 15 championships in the tournament's history, more than any other country.
