Rains over the Duarte long weekend caused a double game day to be played at 2 and 7pm at the Cibao Ball Park on 30 January 2018. Santiago fans first celebrated when their team defeated the Licey Tigers 5-2 in the first game. But sighed, when the Licey team from Santo Domingo won the second game, not fit for heart patients, that ended 4-3. This means the playoffs will be decided in the Wednesday, 31 January 2018 game at the Quisqueya-Juan Marichal Ball Park in Santo Domingo.
The winner of the game will then travel to Mexico for the Caribbean Series that starts 2 February in Guadalajara.
