[EvKirito]

                                                                  

 

 

The Águilas Cibaeñas, Tigres del Licey and Gigantes del Cibao were successful in their commitments against the Leones del Escogido, Estrellas Orientales and Toros del Este, on Saturday December 19, corresponding to the regular return of the Dominican winter ball tournament .

 

The fair is organized by the Dominican Baseball League, competing for the representation of the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Series and for the BHD-León Cup, dedicated to the memory of Don José Manuel Fernández.

 

The triumph of the Aguiluchos, combined with the defeat of the Toros, caused a tie for first position between both teams, with a 15-12 record, while the Giants and the Orientales are tied for third position at 12-12, a game and a half, the Lions (14-15), moved away two and were placed in the middle of the classification zone, while the Tigres (10-15), four games from the first position and two and a half games from the important fourth place.

 

The Eagles and the Bulls, when they have three games to go in the regular round, mathematically placed the magic number to classify in relation to the Chosen One and the Licey in one.

 

The first will play with the fourth and second with the third in the semifinal round and the winners go for the BHD-León cup.

 

The reds end their calendar, with the confrontation on Sunday 20, against the bovines, at 4:00 in the afternoon at the Quisqueya-Juan Marichal Stadium, while the blues have three games to go, double game today with the eaglets and one with the Stars, on the 23rd, closing the event.

 

The distance between the fourth, fifth and sixth place does not pose the disqualification of any of these teams, because it is established that two semifinals will be played, first with the fourth and second with the third to define who will go to the semifinal round and If the distance between the fourth and fifth is less than three games, a mini-playoff will be played between both teams, to the best of three, and the winner will occupy the last position in the classification zone.
