Although the Gigantes have qualified for this year’s Round Robin post-season tournament, they haven’t turned off their engines just yet. In fact, the Gigantes are looking to play spoiler to anyone’s post-season hopes and last night the Tigres were in their sights. The Tigres are two games back in the playoff race and sorely needed a win to stay in the race. But the Gigantes had something to say about that and took the game with a 4-2 victory. The Gigantes are 17-2 this season when they score first and have the league’s most explosive offense. And while the Tigres seem to be in a tight spot, the Aguilas are doing little to help their post-season dreams. Last night they narrowly lost to the Estrellas 6-5 with the help of Pablo Ozuna and Tony Blanco. The Estrellas, eliminated from post-season competition are showing great resolve by their continued effort and could play the most important role in deciding who plays in the post-season. In last night’s final game the Leones, who have a glimmer of a chance for extended play, tried to control their destiny with a victory against the Toros.<\/p>\n
