The last leg of the regular season has arrived and with it, the survival or possible disqualification of the Lyceum Tigers, a franchise that is playing its destiny to not stay out of the playoffs, which does not happen since the tournament 2014-2015.
Reaching its last eight games of this first leg, the Licey arrives with a streak of five failures, a record that puts it in the queue in the standings 2.5 games behind the Cibao Giants, who are in a third place, which they only own because Stars (11-10), Aguilas (13-12) and Chosen (14-13) “dance stuck” a tie in second place.
A poor effectiveness, mainly of its relievers, coupled with an offensive that for great moments disappears have the cats on the road to stay in last place for the first time since they did so in 2012-13, in which they set a record from 21- 29.
For this Friday, the Blues will face the Stars in a double game, starting at 2:00 pm, in a day in which they are forced to win in their intention to move to the next phase for the sixth season in form followed.
This is a double day of five games that both sets have pending, of the eight remaining to the blues, the record of 8-14 makes it the only club that does not have double digits in the important column of victories.
The Licey, the team that has been hit hardest with the Covid 19, has managed in the past clashes to insert staff that mainly for this reason remained long absent. His board has moved the shaker recently with the hiring of pitcher Austin Bibens and that of gardener Wynton Bernard.
A great rise of the methylene ones is expected, club that still owns its possibilities “mathematicians” to register in the postseason, but for it to register an almost perfect record in the remaining encounter.
The stars came out on top in their only clash against the Cats, with a score of 6-5 and even coming from behind, one of the many encounters in which those in the capital have fallen after being ahead on the scoreboard after to conclude the first half of the meetings.
