The league reported that it will make a decision on the claim before the Round Robin concludes.\n\nOn the field, the Cibae\u00f1os managed to overcome a 0-2 deficit in the seventh inning. <strong>Leody Taveras<\/strong> and <strong>Geraldo Perdomo<\/strong> hit RBI singles, while other runs came from bases on balls with the bases loaded and a passed ball by catcher <strong>Onix Vega<\/strong>, completing the comeback.\n\nThe Aguilucho attack occurred after <strong>Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n<\/strong> scored the first run of the inning after a walk to <strong>Andretty Cordero<\/strong> with the bases loaded. Subsequently, Taveras and Perdomo drove in runs with hits, and <strong>Elih Marrero<\/strong> crossed the plate taking advantage of a defensive error. Although <strong>Ezequiel Dur\u00e1n<\/strong> hit into a double play, Taveras managed to score the run that turned the score around. Perdomo scored the final 6-2 after another walk with the bases loaded.\n\nFrom the mound, the Eagles had a solid performance from Cuban starter <strong>Odrisamer Despaigne<\/strong>, who worked <strong>five innings<\/strong>, allowed <strong>two hits and two runs<\/strong>, gave <strong>three walks<\/strong> and struck out <strong>four batters<\/strong>.\n\nThe Toros&#8217; runs came in the bottom of the fourth inning, when <strong>Onix Vega<\/strong> hit a single to center field that drove in two runs.\n\nThe last date of the Round Robin will be decisive. The Toros del Este will close the series visiting the <strong>Gigantes del Cibao<\/strong>, while the <strong>\u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as<\/strong> will face the <strong>Leones del Escogido<\/strong>, awaiting the official decision of the LIDOM on the protest filed.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013 The \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as defeated the Toros del Este 6-2 after manufacturing a rally of five runs in the seventh inning, a result that caused a tie in second position of the semifinal Round Robin of the LIDOM, although the match was under protest for an alleged violation of the regulations.
