DOMINICAN LEAGUE

Gigantes over Estrellas 5-2
Jimmy Paredes was 2-4 with two strikeouts and scored a run as DH for the Gigantes. Paredes hasn't started at a position in a few weeks now; I assume that this has to do with a minor shoulder injury that was reported earlier.  Also for the Gigantes team, Enerio del Rosario pitched a third of an inning with a strikeout, and Rhiner Cruz pitched an inning with two strikeouts.

Licey over Aguilas 6-0
*Anderson Hernandez went 2-4 with a walk and a run scored for Licey.  Jonathan Villar was 0-3 with three strikeouts and an error (his 4th) for Aguilas.

Escogido over Toros 6-2
Diory Hernandez was 1-4 with a double for the Toros team, while Aneury Rodriguez had another strong start - five innings pitched with three hits, no runs, no walks and six strikeouts.  Aneury now has 32 strikeouts in 32.2 innings pitched.
