The Tigres del Licey were on the verge of elimination last night and they played like it. With a courageous 5-4 victory against the Aguilas, the Tigres kept their playoff hopes alive. Licey is now only two games away from capturing another championship trophy. Tigres catcher Matt Tupman and shortstop Erick Aybar both drove in two runs each, and closer Carlos Marmol held on for the victory in the ninth. Licey won 5-4. With last night's victory and the Aguilas inability to close out the series, it seems as if momentum has finally shifted the Tigres' way. The Aguilas lead the series 4-3 and after three blowout victories in the first three games, non-believers wrote off any chance for the Tigres. The Tigres have gone on to win three of the last four games and a continued surge could prove imperative if the Tigres look to take home the post-season crown.
Regardless of who wins the finals, both the Licey and the Aguilas will be in the Caribbean Series matches against Venezuela and Mexico to take place the first week of February in Santiago de los Caballeros. The team to win the championship will wear the Dominican Republic uniform. The runner up team will wear the uniform of their own franchise, whether it be the Licey or Aguilas.
