LIDOM Meets Urgently Due to Cancellation of Águilas vs. Toros Game
The Board of Directors of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) will hold an extraordinary meeting this Monday at 10:00 a.m. The main objective is to analyze and make decisions about the controversy generated after the cancellation of the game between the Águilas Cibaeñas and the Toros del Este, corresponding to the Round Robin of the 2025-26 tournament.
The call comes after the president of LIDOM, Vitelio Mejía, invalidated the victory of the Águilas last Friday. The decision was based on the irregular registration of nine imported players on the day’s roster, exceeding the permitted limit of eight.
This determination has generated discomfort in the Cibaeña organization and has created uncertainty in the standings, right in the crucial phase of the round robin.Position of the Águilas Cibaeñas
The Eagles’ directive has stated that, if LIDOM’s decision is upheld, the team will not confirm its participation in the game that would be rescheduled against the Toros at the Francisco A. Micheli Stadium in La Romana.
The president of the yellow team, Víctor García Sued, explained that if the annulment is reversed, both teams would be tied with an 11-7 record, which would force a tiebreaker game to define the second finalist who will face the Leones del Escogido.Crucial Round Robin Meeting
The representatives of the six league teams will attend Monday’s meeting. They must evaluate the arguments presented and define the regulatory course to be followed. This decision will be crucial for the closing of the Round Robin and the configuration of the Final Series.
Initially, it was reported that the entire Eagles delegation traveled to La Romana on Sunday night, awaiting the decision of the Board of Directors.
The verdict to be adopted will set the immediate course of the championship and test the league’s institutional mechanisms at one of the most critical moments of the tournament.
