They are still talking about the tremendous homerun that flew out of the Quisqueya Stadium last night. Juan Francisco is one of the very, very few to have ever hit a homerun over the center field wall, some 411 feet from home plate. Francisco’s seventh homerun of the season led the visiting Gigantes del Cibao to a 7-2 victory over the Tigres del Licey. In La Romana, Emaus and Gomez led the Toros del Este over the Leones del Escogido by a score of 9-5. Emaus hit a homerun and Gomez went 4-5 to lead the 15-hit attack by the raging bulls of La Romana. The newly arrived first baseman Keven Baker and Designated Hitter Angel Castro let the cellar-dwelling Aguilas past the league-leading Estrellas Orientales.<\/p>\n
