The Licey Tigers won Game Eight of the Winter Professional Baseball Tournament’s Final Series, making tonight’s match the one that determines the champion. Licey beat the Escogido Lions 4-2 after coming from behind to tie the Lions in the seventh inning, and then sealing Escogido’s fate with two runs in the eighth. The last game will be played tonight at 8 pm at Santo Domingo’s Quisqueya Stadium; seats are guaranteed to be sold out for the showdown between these fierce rivals. The Tournament winner will represent the DR at the Caribbean Series next week in San Juan, Puerto Rico, February 2-7.
