Águilas Cibaeñas Triumphs Over Tigres del Licey in Historic Dominican Winter League Series in New York

Despite chilly weather, the first game of the series sees a warm reception from fans and a 3-0 victory for Águilas Cibaeñas.

The Dominican Winter League teams, Águilas Cibaeñas and Tigres del Licey, played a historic three-game series at Citi Field in New York, marking the first time these teams have met in the city.
Despite the chilly weather, the first game saw a warm reception from fans and a 3-0 victory for Águilas Cibaeñas, with Ronnie Williams pitching six innings for the win.
The series, dubbed 'Titans of the Caribbean', was a homecoming for several players, including Águilas center fielder Juan Lagares and Tigres pitcher Hansel Robles, both former Mets.
The games were exhibitions and did not count in the winter league standings, but they were significant for the Dominican diaspora in New York, strengthening their cultural ties to their home country.
Next year's Caribbean Series, an event started in 1949, will be played at a Major League Baseball regular-season ballpark for the first time when the Miami Marlins host the 25-game tournament from Feb. 1-9.
