The Tigres del Licey almost extinguished the Aguilas Cibaenas’ hopes of making the final playoffs this year as they pounded out 16 runs to just 2 for the Aguilas. The highlight of the game was when Licey’s left-fielder Timonel Perez hit for the cycle, something rarely done in baseball: a homerun, a triple, a double and a single in one game.
In La Romana, left-fielder Kendry Morales connected his fourth homerun of the Round Robin tournament, a huge shot over the centerfield fence to help give the Gigantes del Cibao a 4-1 victory over the Toros del Este.
