Good pitching from Ruddy Lugo led the Toros del Este to a win over the Leones del Escogido 4-1 at the Francisco Micheli Stadium in La Romana.<\/p>\n
In Santiago’s Cibao Stadium the lowly Estrellas Orientales defeated the Aguilas Cibaenas for the second straight day, 8-7.<\/p>\n
At the Quisqueya Stadium in Santo Domingo many records fell by the wayside as the Gigantes del Cibao bludgeoned the Tigres del Licey 21 -13. No, they were not playing football, this was baseball and the score was a new record for regular season games in the history of Dominican professional baseball. Gigantes right-fielder Nelson Cruz batted in 10 runs yesterday, hitting two homeruns and a pair of singles.<\/p>\n
