Leones del Escogido (2-4) 9, Aguilas Cibaenas (1-4) 5 - The Leones scored three in the first, fourth, and fifth innings to get their second win of the season. In the first, Escogido's Vidal Brujan scored on a wild pitch, then got runs on a ground out by Socrates Brito and capitalized on a fielding error by Aguilas third baseman Willy Vasquez to take a 3-0 lead. Jonathan Guzman hit a three-run homer in the fourth, and Marco Hernandez had a two-run double in the fifth. Cristopher Morel hit a three-run homer in the fourth for the Aguilas, who fell into last place with the loss.
Estrellas Orientales (3-2) 8, Tigres del Licey (4-2) 3 - The Estrellas scored five in the bottom of the first, getting RBI singles from Josh Lester and Marco Luciano, a sac fly from Cardinals' prospect Leo Bernal, and a two-run triple from Cesar Prieto.
