Havana, January 19 (RHC)- The Gigantes del Cibao team tied the grand final of the Dominican Baseball League by defeating Estrellas Orientales 6-3 in a game played at the Julián Javier stadium in San Francisco de Macorís.

However, in the bottom of the inning, the Giants broke the deadlock with a double by Cuban Henry Urrutia, which drove in two runs, and a home run by Marcell Ozuna with two on base, which put the game at 5-2, an advantage that the Cibao team never lost.

Later, the Easterners added a run in the eighth on a Yamaico Navarro homer, and José Sirí scored his team's sixth run on a hit by Hanser Alberto.

The game was won by Tyler Alexander and Wilmer Ríos took the loss.
