The Tigres del Licey pushed their way into the finals with an incredible performance from their pitching staff. Pitcher Ervin Santana pitched six hitless innings and the rest of the pitching staff followed through, preserving the bid for no-hitter. The offense came through and scored three runs giving Licey a 3-0 win over the falling Estrellas. The no-no was the sixth in Dominican baseball history and was the first since 1990-91 when US pitcher Dennis Springer threw one for Licey against these very same Estrellas. Although they have been mathematically eliminated from the finals, the Gigantes are relishing their roles as possible playoff spoilers. Last night Agustin Septimo had a ninth inning hit that drove in the game-winning hit, giving the Gigantes a 3-2 victory against the Aguilas. The win prevented the Aguilas from making it to the finals and forced them to win against the Estrellas if they wish to do so.
