Baseball drama unfolds

The Gigantes have continued their winning ways, even though they had already classified for the post-season. Meanwhile, Listin Diario reports that the Toros will also classify for the tournament. In what could turn out to be an unlikely year for the LIDOM’s post-season the possibility exists that either the Aguilas or Licey are out of the post-season round robin tournament, meaning that this weekends baseball action will have fans on the edge of their seats. In the last week, Escogido, after being four games behind Licey and Aguilas, seemed to be out of the playoff picture, but the slow collapse of the two LIDOM titans and consistent play by the Leones has put them in a position to determine their playoff destiny.
