The Tigres del Licey put an end to nine straight victories by the Gigantes del Cibao with a 2-0 shutout victory in the Estadio Quisqueya yesterday evening, Wednesday 10 December 2014. The Tigres ended a 17-inning scoreless streak with a single by Arismendy Alcantara, followed by a hit from Carlos Triunfel that produced another run. The victory ends a three-game skid by the Tigres and places them three games away from the fourth position in the standings.<\/p>\n
In Santiago, Willie Garcia drove in three runs and Lorenzo Barcelo dominated the bats of the Toros del Este over six innings helping the Aguilas Cibaenas to a 6-2 victory over the team from La Romana. This was victory number 25 for the Aguilas and their magic number is now just two: any combination of Agiuilas wins or Toros or Estrellas losses places the Aguilas in the Round Robin semi-final section of the tournament.<\/p>\n
In an exciting game in San Pedro de Macoris, the Estrellas Orientales defeated the hapless Leones del Escogido, 1-0 when Audy Ciriaco produced a run scoring hit in the bottom half of the fifth inning. The Estrellas also have a magic number of just two.<\/p>\n
