El Cibao is close to celebrating, but in San Francisco de Macorís. Immediately in the following game, after a defeat, the Gigantes del Cibao regained control of what they started by shutting the Águilas Cibaeñas five runs to zero on Friday night and thus placing themselves just one game away from reaching the title of the Dominican autumn-winter league.

The final, which is played at 7-4, is 3-1, ahead of the Franco-Corisano team, a team that limited the harrier team to three indisputable ones.

Richelson Peña was unbeatable on the mound and three Giants players hit solo home runs to comfort their starting pitcher, bringing the Franco-Corisano team closer to what would be their second Dominican winter baseball crown.

Peña (1-0) gave Giants manager Luis Urueta peace of mind by throwing seven innings of three indisputable, two walks and four strikeouts to win the game. The rest was comfortable for the bullpen, which was in charge of maintaining the shutout, with José Cisnero shooting the eighth and Jumbo Diaz completing a perfect ninth from a strikeout. With that work, the Eagles were limited to just three undisputed.

 

 

Contrary to Peña, the aguilucha hope was short-lived in the arm of his starter Yoanner Negrín, who withstood just 3.2 innings, punished with three runs, two of them for solo homers, by Juan Francisco and Peter O'Brien. The relief didn't do much either, Nabil Crismatt entered the fifth to tolerate two laps, including another solo homer, connected by José Sirí.

The fifth game will be played at the Julián Javier stadium, in San Francisco de Macorís, on Saturday afternoon at 5:00 pm, where the local team has the opportunity to finish the series and lift the title, which they won for the only time in 2015.

In the fourth episode, the Giants shook their power. First, after one out, Juan Francisco hit a solo home run through right field for the first run of the game. After Moisés Sierra was retired, Peter O'Brien appeared with the second home run of the inning, a stick that came out of the left field.

The attack followed later with a double by Richard Ureña down the left field and Carlos Paulino led him to the plate with a single along the same route. It was what led the leader Félix Fermín to end the performance of Negrín, replaced by Luis Castillo, who stopped the attack.

In the fifth the Giants attack continued and it happened against Nabil Crismatt, who started the entry through Castillo.

It was José Sirí who started the damage with another solo homer for the Giganes, a homerun that came off the left side. Ronald Guzmán continued with a double in the same area. Crismatt retired Kelvin Gutiérrez and intentionally bounced Francisco and Sierra to load the bases. Manager Fermín brought in José Cuas and O'Brien hit a sacrifice fly to the right field to push in his second run of the game and his fifth for his team.
