Los Tigres del Licey se impusieron 2 carreras por 1 a los Leones del Escogido en el primer partidos de la serie Final del Béisbol Invernal Dominicano que se celebra en el Estadio Quisqueya, hogar de ambos clubes.
Los Azueles contaron con una magistral labor monticular del norteamericano Mitch Atkins, quien apenas permitió una carrera en 7 entradas, con 4 imparables e igual numero de ponches propinados a sus oponentes.
La ofensiva de los Tigres estuvo encabezada por el también norteamericano Lew Ford, quien se fue de 2-2 con una vuelta producida, antes de salir del partido por una reacción alérgica en su rostro.
El antesalista Anderson Hernández remolcó la carrera de la victoria con un elevado de sacrificio en la cuarta entrada.
Licey toma la delantera 1-0 en la serie pactada al mejor de 9 partidos, cuando este martes se jugará el segundo compromiso a partir de las 5 de la tarde.
