GAME SIX
(3-3) Gigantes del Cibao   5
(3-3) Aguilas Cibeañas      6
FINAL

BOXSCORE 1/17/21 - The LIDOM championship series is headed towards a decisive seventh game.  Los Aguilas again stave off elimination with their second straight victory to knot the series at three.  The two teams traded single runs in the first inning on runs batted in from designated hitter Juan Francisco for Cibao, and Melky Cabrera for Cibaeñas.  In the bottom of the fourth, Aguilas' center fielder Juan Lagares connects for a grand slam home run off Gigantes' reliever Jesus Reyes giving Cibeañas a 5-0 lead.  Los Aguilas' most important run comes in the sixth on another Juan Lagares run batted in.  That's because Los Gigantes mount a furious four-run rally in the ninth inning against Cibaeñas reliever Neftalí Feliz.  Center fielder Jose Siri hits a three-run home run, and first baseman Ronald Guzman followed with a solo shot.  But Los Gigantes fall a run short.  Feliz strikes out the final two batters of the game.  Game seven is scheduled for Monday evening at Estadio Julian Javier in San Francisco de Macorís.
