Outstanding pitching by major league right-hander Ervin Santana shackled the Gigantes del Cibao and gave the Tigres del Licey a 4-0 victory. The win puts Licey into second place of the round robin section of the 2007-2008 Dominican Winter League Tournament. The Aguilas Cibaenas fell to tournament leaders the Estrellas Orientales 8-2 in a game held in the Tetelo Vargas Stadium in San Pedro de Macoris. The Aguilas fall to 5-6 and the Estrellas go to 7-3. The Aguilas need desperately to win more games, albeit they not grab a spot to battle visiting Venezuelan or Mexican teams during the early February Caribbean Series held in their own home cities.<\/p>\n
