Campeones Nacionales ... National Champions
Last night las Aguilas de Cibaenas finished off los Tigres del Licey and won the Series Final 5 games to 2.
Last Monday, when I last posted an entry on this blog, las Aguilas were leading the series 2 games to 1. Monday las Aguilas took a 3-1 lead in the series defeating los Tigres 7-2. On Tuesday los Tigres won 3-2. Wednesday was a day off and las Aguilas needed two wins to become the Dominican National Champions. Las Aguilas won the next two games by a combined score of 21 to 5, winning Thursday 11-3 and last night 10-2.
Yesterday I took a walk looking for Aguilas pictures. Baseball is a huge national sport here in the Dominican Republic and the yellow las Aguilas flags and hats were everywhere in town. Below are some of the pictures I took.
Last night after the game was finished, the people took to the street. Cars drove the town with their lights flashing, lots of people tied tin cans to the back of their pasolas and motorcycles and drove around. Fireworks could be heard. The noise lasted for a couple of hours and it was impossible to sleep until the celebrations finally ended.
Las Aguilas now qualify to play in the Series del Caribe (Caribbean World Series) which begins February 2 and is played through February 8.
They will play against the champions from Venezuela, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The series will be played this year in Puerto Rico.
Last year the Caribbean World Series was won by Venezuela.
Las Aguilas have won the Caribbean World Series four times, (1997, 1998, 2001 and 2003).
The leading hitters for las Aguilas in the series were Melky Cabrera of the Yankees (.333), Edwin Encarnacion of the Cincinnati Reds (.393), Mendy Lopez who is not signed with a major league team at this time (.400) and Alberto Castillo who is in the Boston organization (.391).
This is yours truly in one of my Aguilas caps.
