The night of December 17 will be remembered as the occasion when the Tigres del Licy established a new racing record scored after the game in which they defeated the Cibaeñas Eagles this Tuesday night at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium.
The game ended 25 runs to three and that number is the highest scored in any phase of Dominican winter ball. Combined, they add up to 28 and are far from the mark of the Gigantes del Cibao match against the Licyon November 26, 2008 at the Quisqueya Stadium.
On that occasion, the Giants stepped on the plate 21 times and the Licy 13 to add 34, which is the combined mark that remains sacred in Dominican baseball until now.
The figure surpassed the mark of the Leones del Esído on November 7, 1957, which had scored 24 runs against the same Águilas and on the same stage of the Quisqueya Stadium, according to data from the historian and sports journalist, Félix García Estrella.
The blue team also had 27 hits in the game, which is the second most in LIDOM history, matching that of the Azucareros del Este on December 21, 2008, in a game against the Estrellas Orientales at the Tetelo Vargas Stadium. .
But in a final series, the Chosen One fired 29 hits in a duel against the Stars on January 27, 1960 at Tetelo Vargas, which is the most in a final series. In that game, the Reds scored 22 runs against the Stars, which is the record in a final series for a team.
The record for hits is held by the Águilas established against the Estrellas on January 16, 1982 with 30 hits, also at Tetelo Vargas, according to data collected by Estrella.
In the game, Jorge Alfaro went 3 for 6, scored one and had four RBIs. David Hensley 5-for-4, two doubles, four runs scored and three RBIs. Dawel Lugo, 2-for-4, one home run, three runs scored and three RBIs.
