The president of the Dominican Professional Baseball League, Leonardo Matos Berrido said that the Dominican winter baseball season will reopen 23 October as planned but with only four teams. He said the season will be played with the Licey Tigers, Escogido Lions (based in Santo Domingo), the Northeastern Giants (San Francisco de Macoris) and the Cibao Eagles (Santiago). The Oriental Stars (San Pedro de Macoris) and the Sugar Cane Growers of the East (La Romana) will not play this year as the hurricane caused major damages to their stadiums. The season will open Friday, 23 October with games played in Santo Domingo (Licey vs Escogido) and San Francisco de Macoris (Aguilas vs Gigantes).
