The Cibao Eagles trounced the Licey Tigers 8-2 at Cibao Stadium in Santiago last night, increasing the Eagleís lead in the Winter Professional Baseball Tournament over second-place Licey to seven. Meanwhile at Quisqueya Stadium last night the Escogido Lions destroyed the Northeast Giants 9-3, in part on the strength of five perfect innings pitched by Julio Santana. Tonight at 8 pm in Cibao Stadium the Eagles and Tigers will face off again, while the Lions and Giants are due to meet again tonight at 8 pm in Julian Javier Stadium in San Francisco de Macoris.
