Aguilas Cibaeñas continue to lead playoff

The Aguilas Cibaeñas are having a ball. The 1996-1997 Dominican and Caribbean league champions have won all their games and continue to lead the playoffs, with a 4-0 record. Yesterday, playing in their home park in Santiago, the Aguilas defeated the Leones del Escogido, 4-2. U.S. Major League baseball veterans, Luis Polonia and Félix Fermín, showed fans that experience counts. Between the two they batted in the four runs needed to win the game. The standing of the playoffs are Aguilas, Escogido, Licey and Estrellas. Games scheduled for today are Licey vs. Escogido in the Quisqueya Ball Park at 7:30 pm and Estrellas vs. Aguilas in the Estadio Cibao of Santiago at 7:30 pm. The games are extra exciting as rosters include many U.S. Major League baseball players.
