Baseball update

The Tigres are on a roll after a 7-2 victory against the Estrellas. And with continued play like this we could see them back for a championship battle this post-season. Though last night’s game was against the perennial cellar-dwellers Estrellas, it was Licey’s third win in a row. In last night’s other game the Gigantes punched out the Escogido 8-5 and took sole possession of first place in the Dominican Winter League. Barring a collapse like last year’s we could be watching this year’s league champions.

In related news, Escogido manager Bienvenido Figueroa has resigned as coach. Escogido is having a dismal year, placing second to last in the standings. No reason why he decided to quit mid-season.
