The heat is rising as the Dominican baseball season enters its final stretch. During last night’s match-up the Toros beat the league-leading Escogido, 3-2, and the Aguilas took care of the Estrellas 2-0. What a change to the Aguilas since Tony Pena took over the reins of the team, but the hole might be too deep for them. In the night’s final game the Tigres beat the Gigantes 5-4. Escogido has continued to be the surprise of the baseball season and we could have a second surprise team in the finals with the Toros. There are still plenty of games left, but if the Aguilas want a spot in the round robin, they need to start playing quality ball, ASAP.
