Last night the Tigres del Licey beat up on the hapless Estrellas Orientales, 10-5. However, the Tigres were losing the game until a seven-run ninth inning gave them the victory and extended the Estrellas' losing streak to eight games. The win keeps Licey in first place with a two-game advantage in the standings. In Santiago's Estadio Cibao, the Aguilas Cibaenas finally won a game and defeated the Azucareros del Este 6-3. The game was tied until the bottom of the eighth inning when the Aguilas scored four runs and sealed their victory.

In Santo Domingo, the Leones del Escogido continued to improve, and they defeated the Gigantes del Cibao with a 6-0 shutout. The Leones' pitchers only gave up four hits during the nine innings.
