The Gigantes of San Francisco de Macorís won the right to play an extra game to determine whether they or the Estrellas of San Pedro de Macorís will play in the round robin that begins in January. The Gigantes have won their past three games. The Estrellas have been affected by the loss of José Oliva in a tragic accident two weeks ago. Oliva was on his way to being designated the most valuable player of the league and was the leader in runs batted. The Gigantes are the youngest team of the Dominican Winter Baseball League. The Tigres del Licey are in first place of the league, followed by the Leones del Escogido and the Aguilas Cibaeñas. The Estrellas Orientales and the Gigantes are tied for fourth place. The Azucareros del Este are in last place.
