After a dismal start to the Dominican Winter League season, the Aguilas have made a change that should give them an instant boost. The Aguilas have hired Tony Pena as their manager. If you recall, Pena is the bench coach for the 2009 World Champion New York Yankees. Pena comes with years of managerial experience and could be that missing link for helping this team back to its winning ways. Pena will have Miguel Dilone and Denio Gonzalez by his side. Pena was a coach with the team between 1997 and 2000, winning two crowns.
And on the field the games went on as usual, with the Lobos de Arecibo taking the Escogido 4-2 and the Toros del Este beating the Estrellas Orientales 8-6.
