The Tigres del Licey had to go to 12 innings to sneak a victory against the Gigantes del Cibao in Santo Domingo, ending their dry run. To the delight of fans at the Quisqueya Ball Park the marathon four-hour game resulted in 23 runs and 27 hits. The teams needed 17 pitchers before the game was over. Licey is the Dominican team with the largest number of Winter Baseball Championship wins. Sports writers are expressing their concern that this could be the first time there is no capital city team in the semi-finals.
