CIBAO DUELING WITH AZUCAREROS IN EARLY DOMINICAN RACE

The Cibao Gigantes and Este Azucareros have taken the reins in the early going of Dominican League baseball action this winter. The Gigantes have won four straight games and are in first place with an 8-2 record, a mere half-game up on the Azucareros in the six-team league standings.

Pitcher Joselo Diaz is one reason the Azucareros are off to a strong start. In 14.1 innings pitched, Diaz has a 2-0 record with a 1.26 ERA and 16 strikeouts while giving up just three walks. Anderson Hernandez of Licey leads the league in batting with a .408 average, nearly 20 points ahead of Oriente's Willis Otanez' .389 mark.
