Things continue to get interesting in the Dominican Winter Baseball League. With only two days left in the season, the race for the final spot is now down to two teams and anything can happen. Last night the Toros stayed alive as they beat the Escogido 6-1 and mathematically eliminated the team from playoff contention. All the Escogido have to play for now is pride. Things got even more interesting as the Estrellas lost to the Aguilas 5-4 last night, creating a tie for the fourth and final spot in the playoffs. It was the Aguilas 12th straight home victories and with their win, and a Gigantes loss, the Aguilas moved into first place in the standings. Licey beat the Gigantes 3-2, but the biggest concern for these teams now is having a healthy and ready roster for the post-season. Tonight is an important baseball night. The Azucareros face off against the Estrellas in a head to head. The season for both teams could be decided here.
