Both the Aguilas and Licey have won their two first games of the round-robin tournament.
On Monday night, Licey took 11 innings to beat the pesky Azucareros. Losing 8 – 7 in the eleventh inning, Licey was able to come from behind and score the tying and winning runs, after managing to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. The Azucareros had taken a 4 – 0 lead to start the game but could not hold on and were left in the field.
Meanwhile the Aguilas were battering the Leones del Escogido 9 – 3 with Luis Polonia, the “Atomic Ant” hitting 4 – 5. The game was iced by the sixth inning with the Aguilas leading 8 – 2.
Last night, it was different baseball parks but the same results. The Aguilas again scored nine runs off of Escogido pitchers and won 9 – 5 in Santo Domingo, while Licey traveled to La Romana and won fairly handily 7 – 4.
