Last night the Azucareros from La Romana shut out the Leones de Escogido 2-0, with outstanding pitching from Edison Volquez who allowed just three hits over five innings. With the victory, the Azucareros have extended their winning streak to four games and displaced the Leones from third spot in the standings. In other action the Tigres de Licey defeated the Gigantes del Cibao by the narrowest of margins, 2 – 1. Felix Diaz pitched six innings of brilliant baseball, allowing just one run as he scattered seven hits over the six inning stretch.
In a rain-delayed game the Aguilas del Cibao beat up on the Estrellas Orientales, 10 – 3. The game ended in the wee hours of this morning after rains delayed the game several times. Willy Mo Pena, a young Cincinnati Reds player, was once again the star, going 3-4 with four runs-batted-in. With the victory, the Aguilas and the Tigres maintain their first place tie.
