The table is set to continue on Wednesday in a series of semifinals that was largely marked by unpredictability.
Gigantes del Cibao was not expected to have their series about to mate in front of stars who came to it with the figures of Robinson Canó and Fernando Tatis Jr. as the main shield leading them to the second final series in three years.
Not that the same teams, the most offensive in the last part of the regular season, barely combined for only 13 rounds in the first three games.
And that only the Toros with the nine touchdowns from the first challenge made their offensive feeling in the block, with four teams full of top-level hitters, in which many more shots were expected.
But we have to wait until today will bring the second part of the semifinal, in which the Giants (3-0) visit Paquidermos (0-3) from 7:30 at night to Tetelo Vargas and the Eastern Bulls (2-1) receive Águilas ( 1-2) from the same hour at Francisco Micheli.
Scott Harkins is the trump card of Luis Urueta, whose goal is to emerge victorious 4-0 from the semifinals A and thus awaits the winner of the other match between Aguilas and the current monarchs. Nabil Crismatt, with a good presentation, will do it for Paquidermos.
For his part, Yuneski Maya will go boxing for Cibaeños at Micheli and will face Carlos Hernández in a confrontation between two boxing giants.
The stars have not found a way to neutralize José Sirí, who has been the offensive hero in his club’s last two victories.
On Sunday, with his two homers, who became the most decisive shots in the 4-3 victory and, on Monday, with a round at home in the eighth, he equalized the actions, and his single in the tenth led it on Abiatar Avelino with the return of success with a score of 3-2.
