The big news from Friday's games was that the Tigres del Licey clobbered former big-leaguer Jose Lima and beat the champions Aguilas Cibaenas 11-4. Lima was lifted after the second inning after the Tigres had scored six runs.
The Leones del Escogido were not very nice guests at the Tetelo Vargas Stadium in San Pedro de Macoris where they beat up on the Estrellas Orientales 8-1. Julio Mateo pitched six shut-out innings, and the Leones beat out 14 hits. In San Francisco de Macoris, Brad Nelson hit a single in the last half of the ninth inning to give the Gigantes del Cibao a narrow 3-2 victory over the Azucareros del Este in the Julian Javier Stadium.
On Saturday, the Estrellas continued their losing streak as they succumbed to the Azucareros del Este 7-1 in their own ballpark. Joselo Diaz threw six innings of one-run baseball, striking out seven. The loss extends the Estrellas streak to five games.
In San Francisco, the Gigantes del Cibao continued their winning ways as they defeated the Aguilas Cibaenas 8-6 in an interesting game that saw four lead changes. An eighth inning hit by Wilson Valdez brought the Gigantes back from a one run deficit, giving the Gigantes their 16th win of the season.
In Santo Domingo's venerable Estadio Quisqueya, the Leones del Escogido defeated their "eternal rivals", the Tigres del Licey 4-3. The Leones won the game with a run in the bottom half of the tenth inning, leaving the Tigres in the field.
On Sunday in Santiago, the once feared "Valley of Death" for opposing teams has apparently lost its mystic powers, as the Tigres del Licey beat up on the Aguilas Cibaenas 8-2. The Aguilas opened the game with big-leaguer Julian Taveras on the mound, but he did not have much of his 'stuff' and was touched for five runs in just four and a third innings.
In Santo Domingo, the Leones del Escogido continued with their winning ways, defeating the Estrellas Orientales 3-1. This is the sixth loss in a row for the Estrellas, and the fifth victory in a row for Escogido.
In The Francisco Micheli Stadium in La Romana, the Gigantes del Cibao kept a firm hold on second place with a 7-3 victory over the Azucareros del Este.
In other news, the Aguilas Cibaenas traded mighty Willy Mo Pena to Escogido for shortstop Rafael Furcal. The Estrellas Orientales, looking to bolster their team, obtained Willy Otanez, Henry Mateo and pitcher Felix Diaz for reliever Damaso Marte and their first round pick in next year's player's draft.
