DOMINICAN KINGPINS FAIL TO DEFEND 2008 CS TITLE

The Godess of Fortune has finally stopped smiling upon the Licey Tigres. One year after the Tigres won the Caribbean Series after being the number two team from the host Dominican Republic due to no winterball in Puerto Rico, Licey barely slipped in the Dominican League playoffs this winter before winning their 20th pennant in the posteason.
Things went sour early for the defending champs, as the Tigres lost four of their first five games and were never in contention. Licey was not without some good performances, however. Catcher Ronny Paulino led Dominican batters by hitting .381 with two homers and five RBIs. Pitcher Alfredo Simon pitched shutout ball over seven innings to win his only start.
