La Romana’s Toros del Este will be playing the Estrellas Orientales for the 2018-2019 Dominican Professional Winter Baseball Championship. The Estrellas, now managed by Fernando Tatis, have their hearts on winning this year. The team has not won a championship in 50 years. To win the slot in the playoffs, the Toros del Este defeated the Leones del Escogido 4-3 at the Quisqueya Ball Park, in a game marked by a dramatic final inning when pitcher Michael Dimock dominated Chris Roberson who went to bat with men on all bases.
The playoffs start on Thursday, 17 January 2019 at 7:30pm, with the first game to be played at the San Pedro de Macoris stadium, the Tetelo Vargas. National District fans will have to travel to San Pedro or to La Romana to see their teams play.
