The Caribbean Series title will stay home. As the standing goes, it will be either DR team 2, Tigres del Licey, or the homeclub, DR1 (Aguilas Cibaenas).
The Tigres del Licey, the second team representing the DR after replacing the absent Puerto Rico team, has kept its record clean and is now poised to claim yet another Caribbean crown after squeaking out a 2-1 victory over the Tigres de Aragua from Venezuela. A dramatic homerun from the "Montecristi Woodcutter", Nelson Cruz, gave the Tigres their victory. The Venezuelan team, with a 1-3 record, has been eliminated from the possibility of winning the championship.
Current defending champs the Aguilas Cibaenas returned to their winning ways by defeating the Yaquis de Obregon, Mexico's representative in the series, 4-1.
The Aguilas victory guarantees a Dominican champion, and whether it is the Aguilas or the Tigres del Licey might depend on Thursday's game between the two. If both teams win tonight, and if the Aguilas beat Licey on Thursday, there will be a one-game playoff on Friday.
