Over the weekend, the Tigres del Licey were able to win a couple of games and the Aguilas were happy to just be able to play one game. As a result, Licey got close to the Aguilas for a final play-off spot, but as a result of yesterday’s great performance from star Jose Lima, the Aguilas pulled away and moved into a tie for the first place spot. Lima pitched a great game, allowing just three hits as he covered the entire route for the Aguilas. The Azucareros lost their fifteenth game in a row. Today will see the debut of Miguel Tejada in Santiago as the Aguilas make up two rain-outs with the Gigantes de San Francisco de Macoris. Licey will travel to La Romana to face the Azucareros.
