<\/p>\n\n\nSAN FRANCISCO DE MACOR\u00cdS.<\/strong> \u2013 With a solid offensive performance by Johan Rojas<\/strong>, who drove in two runs, the Gigantes del Cibao<\/strong> defeated the Tigres del Licey<\/strong> 4-3, a result that allowed the Cibao team to climb to fourth place<\/strong> in the standings of the 2025-26 tournament of the Dominican Professional Baseball League (LIDOM), dedicated to Juan Marichal for the Banreservas Cup.\n\n\n

Early Production and Pitching Control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Francomacorisano team struck first by scoring their first run in the third inning, thanks to a run-scoring single by Deyvison de los Santos<\/strong>.\n\nIn the fourth act, a bases-loaded walk issued by Anderson Severino<\/strong> to Melvin Mercedes and a sacrifice fly by Johan Rojas<\/strong> extended the lead to 3-0 for the home team.\n\nLicey managed to score in the fifth inning when Mel Rojas Jr.<\/strong> scored after a walk from Hansel Robles<\/strong>, making the score 3-1. However, Rojas responded again for the Giants with a ground ball for a force out that produced the team’s fourth run.\n\n\n

Blue Reaction Attempt<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe Tigres threatened again in the seventh inning, when a single by Domingo Leyba<\/strong> brought Luis Campusano<\/strong> to the plate, closing the score to 4-2. Even so, the blues could only add one more in the ninth, falling short in their attempt to tie.\n\nThe Giants’ pitching staff worked in combination to limit Licey’s offense and secure the victory.\n\n\n
