Leury Garc\u00eda, Carlos Franco and Julio Carreras lead the integrations of the Giants<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nThe definition of the ticket to the final was cooked over low heat during an intense weekend of baseball. Mineros and Granjeros faced each other in a short series, full of drama and marked by the pressure of each inning. The tournament is organized by the Dominican Baseball Federation (Fedom) and is dedicated to the Minister of the Presidency, Jos\u00e9 Ignacio Paliza.\n\n\nOn Friday, the Moca Farmers, 2024 champions, started off well in their 6-3 triumph, taking the victory with an offense that exploded early against the Miners.
A three-run rally in the second inning opened the gap, and although Bonao tried to respond in the final stretch, the Moca defense closed ranks to put the series in their favor and remember why they were the monarchs in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\nOn Saturday, the Miners responded strongly in a match filled with tension.
The Miners’ pitching combined with timely hitting that changed the script.
A solo home run in the fifth inning ignited the spark, followed by a run-scoring double in the seventh that sealed the victory.
The score tied the series and raised the excitement to the maximum, preparing the ground for a decisive duel.\n\nSunday turned into a battle of nerves. The Miners took advantage of the opportunities that the Granjeros’ relief pitching left on a platter, adding runs at key moments. Each play was celebrated by the Bonao fans, who packed the stands with the illusion of seeing their team make history.\n\nThe defending champions fought until the last turn, but the outcome was written: the Miners’ victory sealed their qualification to the final and left out the Farmers, who could not repeat their crown.\n\nFinal standings of the Round Robin\nBonao Miners (4-2). Puerto Plata Athletics (3-3). Santiago Royals (3-3). And Moca Farmers (2-4).\n\nWith this result, the Mineros will face the Atl\u00e9ticos de Puerto Plata in the final series, which will begin on October 2nd.\n\n\n
