Baseball update

Not much baseball was played over the weekend, but Friday’s results changed the standing quite a bit. The Aguilas Cibaenas defeated the Tigres del Licey, 4-0, behind the wonderful pitching of Derek Lee. Lee threw 8 1/3 innings of shutout baseball against the Tigres. He allowed just four hits, and Nicaraguan Deven Hansack got the last two outs. Sebastian Boucher was the leading batter for the Aguilas going 3-4, and Edwin Encarnacion batted in two runs.

In San Francisco de Macoris, the Gigantes del Cibao beat the Toros del Este 5-1, and climbed into first place in the standing. Brad Nelson hit a home run and batted in three runs for the Gigantes.

In San Pedro de Macoris, the Estrellas Orientales defeated the Leones del Escogido and climbed into fourth place in the standings, the last play-off position in this year’s tournament.

There were no games on Saturday or Sunday and no games are scheduled for today. The schedule starts again tomorrow with games in Santo Domingo, La Romana and San Francisco de Macoris.
