Ram\u00f3n Santiago Expresses Pride After Leones del Escogido Qualify for the Final Series<\/h2>\n\nSANTO DOMINGO. \u2013 The leader of the Leones del Escogido, Ram\u00f3n Santiago, expressed his satisfaction and pride after his team secured its place in the Final Series of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) tournament, following Friday’s victory against the Gigantes del Cibao.\n\nFor Santiago, who is experiencing his first time as a manager in the league, reaching the final represents a significant moment, although he emphasized that the main objective is still pending.\n\n\n

I have an emotion right now that I can’t describe. First experience as a manager in the league and going to a final is a source of pride for me. But we know that the work isn’t finished; we’re going for the 18th crown.<\/p>Ram\u00f3n Santiago<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe scarlet strategist highlighted that the key to success has been the trust in the core of players, largely the same group that won the championship last season, and in whom he maintains unwavering faith to achieve the title again.\n\n\n

We knew the road wasn’t going to be easy. Many people counted us out in the regular season, but we trusted our veterans, in players who are national and Caribbean champions. A champion can never be underestimated.<\/p>Ram\u00f3n Santiago<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe victory against the Giants guaranteed that the Lions will start the Final Series at home, regardless of the results of the last day of the Round Robin, scheduled for this Saturday.\n\n\n

Erik Gonz\u00e1lez Highlights Team Cohesion<\/h2>\n\n\nOn the other hand, shortstop Erik Gonz\u00e1lez highlighted the collective progress of the red team during the tournament, emphasizing the improvement in the group’s chemistry and energy.\n\n\n

As time goes by, the team’s energy has been complementing each other more. We understand each other better and that has made things a little easier for us.<\/p>Erik Gonz\u00e1lez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nGonz\u00e1lez defined the Escogido’s season as a process of learning and consistency, underlining the team’s constant dedication despite the ups and downs inherent in the campaign.\n\n\n

It has been a year of learning and a lot of consistency. We have had ups and downs, but the boys never failed to deliver.<\/p>Erik Gonz\u00e1lez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nLos Leones del Escogido will conclude their participation in the Round Robin this Saturday at 4:00 in the afternoon, facing the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
