After winning last winter’s Caribbean Series, hopes were high for fans of the Licey Tigres heading into this season, and the Tigres have not disappointed. Although the team struggled to qualify for the playoffs this season, Licey clinched a spot in the Dominican Series with their 2-1 win over the Cibao Gigantes Friday night.
Infielder Erick Aybar was the hero in the clincher for Licey, drilling a third-inning homer and slapping a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth as the Tigres finished their round robin schedule with a 12-6 record, tops in the LiDom. The Gigantes fell to 10-7 and are now tied with the Este Azucareros for the other slot in the finals. Both teams have single games against the 2-14 Cibaenas Aguilas this weekend to determine who will face Licey. In case of a tie for second, the team with the better runs differential in the first round will get the nod.
