Last night the Aguilas Cibaena took their first win over the Azucareros del Este with the lopsided score of 10-1. The victory kept the Aguilas in second place, one and a half games behind the Tigres del Licey. Johnny Cueto improved his pitching record with an impressive five innings of six-hit, one run work. Cueto is now 4-0 for the season.
Licey traveled to San Pedro de Macoris to face the Estrellas Orientales. In a game that was called after seven and a half innings due to unruly fan behavior, the Tigres beat the Estrellas 5-1. Local fans were unhappy with the chief umpire who had thrown the Estrellas manager and catcher out of the game for arguing balls and strikes. When fans started pelting players and umpires alike, the umpires called the game, granting victory to the Tigres.
In Santo Domingo's Estadio Quisqueya, the cellar-dwelling Leones del Escogido played host to the Gigantes del Cibao. Unfortunately for the Gigantes, the Leones were not very good hosts, defeating the visitors 7-3. Most of the work was done by "a spectacular lack of control from the opposing pitchers," and the exciting base running of Freddy Guzman.
