It looks as if the Aguilas have had their wings clipped during the 2009 winter league post-season. The once dominant team from the Cibao has sputtered as of late and has lost six games in the round robin tournament. Though the post-season is still under way, it seems unlikely that the Aguilas will recover in time to make it to the championship round. Last night the Aguilas lost 4-3 to the Toros del Este. The Aguilas would have to win their last eight games and hope for a miracle in order to advance. In last night’s other game the Gigantes took over sole possession of the top spot in the standings after beating the Tigres in a tightly fought contest with a score of 4-3. Though the Gigantes have looked strong it is still a wide-open race for the two spots in the championship series.
