The Leones del Escogido climbed into a fourth place tie with the Estrellas Orientales as they defeated the Estrellas 10-2 at the Tetelo Vargas Stadium in San Pedro de Macoris. Vince Sinisi was the star for Escogido with his four hits in four at-bats. Meanwhile in Santo Domingo, the Tigres del Licey continued to beat up on the apparently hapless Aguilas Cibaenas, 8-1, and thereby guaranteed their place in the Round Robin portion of the tournament. Jose Bautista hit a two-run home run to cap a three-run rally against starting pitcher Julian Tavarez. Over in San Francisco de Macoris, the league-leading Gigantes del Cibao sent the Toros del Este to the bottom of the standings with a 4-3 victory. After leading 4-0, the Gigantes had to fend off strong attempts by the Toros to come back. A run in the seventh and a two-run rally in the ninth fell just short, as reliever Dario Veras kept the tying run at third and picked up his eleventh save of the tournament.
