On Wednesday night, the Tigres del Licey achieved a historic feat by winning 3-0 against the Toros del Este without allowing a hit or a run, at the Francisco A. Micheli stadium in La Romana. The combination of seven pitchers—Luis Gil, R. Clemente, A. Cornielle, M. Arias, L. Frías, W. Suero, and Jean Carlos Mejía—conserved the taurine offense without generating any hits or scoring runs.
A historic game without a hit
The win became the 12th game without a hit or a run in the history of the Professional Baseball League of the Dominican Republic (LIDOM) and the first since November 7, 2023, when the Estrellas Orientales achieved the feat against the same team. It was also the second combined game without a hit or a run by the Tigres against the Toros in the same stadium, the first of that category was recorded on November 1, 2022.

Rain suspends match between Estrellas and Águilas
The duel between the Estrellas Orientales and the Águilas Cibaeñas, which was being played at the Cibao stadium in Santiago, was postponed when the precipitation affected the northern zone of the country. The game was tied 0-0 in the high of the second inning when the umpires decided to stop the action due to the field conditions.
The LIDOM announced that the match will be rescheduled for a later date. It was the first postponed game due to rain in the 2026-2027 season.
Impact on the table and the season
With the win, the Tigres del Licey remain at the top of the standings, followed by the Toros del Este. The Estrellas Orientales and the Gigantes del Cibao occupy intermediate positions, while the Águilas Cibaeñas and the Leones del Escogido seek to improve their performance in the current campaign.
