Last night, Wednesday 17 December 2014 in one of what might be the last games in Santo Domingo’s venerable Estadio Quisqueya the Tigres del Licey suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Estrellas Orientales, 10-0. The defeat consolidates the first place standing of the Estrellas and the fifth place standing of the Tigres, four games behind the Toros with just four games left to play.
Austin Bibens-Dirkx combined with four relievers for the Toros Del Este to whitewash (3-0) the Gigantes Del Cibao and guarantee, at the very least a playoff game for the semi final series.
In Santiago, the Aguilas Cibaenas supported by a double by Jonathan Villar which produced two runs and where the beginning of an 8-0 victory over the hapless Leones del Escogido who are now excluded from any possibility of making it to the local postseason.
