The match took place at the Francisco A. Micheli stadium, maintaining the high competitiveness in the fight for the qualifying positions of the 2025-26 autumn-winter tournament, dedicated to Juan Marichal and in dispute for the Banreservas Cup.\n\nThe Toros del Este arrived at the ninth inning with a 5-3 lead and Joe Colbert on the mound to close the game. However, the Giants&#8217; offense responded strongly to change the course of the game.\n\nThe comeback began with a sacrifice fly by Leury Garc\u00eda, which allowed Samad Taylor to score. Subsequently, a wild pitch by Jorge Bautista, with the bases loaded, opened the doors for Carlos Jorge to tie the game 5-5.\n\nThe final blow was delivered by Deyvison De Los Santos, who hit a three-pointer to center field, driving in Johan Rojas and Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. to make it a definitive 7-5 and silence the home crowd.\n\nWith this victory, the Gigantes del Cibao reach their number 14 victory (14-19), tying for fourth place with the Tigres del Licey. On the other hand, the Leones del Escogido fell to last place with a record of 14-20, after suffering their second consecutive defeat.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Performance at the Mont\u00edculo<\/h2>\n\n\nEmilio Vargas had an early exit, allowing three earned runs in the first inning.
