The Baseball Championship will begin on Thursday October 16th with a match between ‘Los Toros del Este’ of La Romana and the ‘Estrellas Orientales’ from San Pedro de Macorois. This first match will be accompanied by an opening ceremony dedicated to Carlos Manuel Bonetti (Pilindo), a man who dedicated his life to promoting Dominican baseball.

In the franchise’s 31 year history, this will be the sixth time that the stadium will be the site of the official opening of the Dominican Winter Baseball Tournament, known as the Torneo de Béisbol Invernal.

The championships begin with that single match. The calendario will be played at full-time the next day with clashes between ‘Leones del Escogido’ and ‘Tigres del Licey’ in Santo Domingo, ‘Aguilas Cibaeñas’ versus ‘Gigantes del Cibao’ in San Francisco de Macoris and ‘Toros del Este’ and ‘Estrellas Orientales’ in San Pedro de Macoris. The opening weekend will then continue on Saturday October 18th with encounters between ‘Estrellas’ and ‘Escogido’ at Quisqueya Stadium in Santo Domingo, ‘Gigantes’ and ‘Licey’ in the Julian Javier Stadium in San Francisco de Macoris and the ‘Aguilas’ visiting ‘Toros del Este’ here in La Romana. Meanwhile on Sunday October 19th there will only be two games: ‘Escogido’ versus ‘Licey’ and ‘Aguilas’  against ‘Gigantes del Cibao’ in Santiago de los Caballeros.

According to the new tournament regulations, the opening day corresponds to the home of ‘Los Toros’, according to a rotation schedule introduced a few years ago. Before that, the opening game always took place at the home of the previous tournament champions, who faced the runner up.

Francisco Micheli is the only stadium of Dominican professional baseball that boasts Major League standards, having undergone a complete renovation in both the field and all internal and external dependencies in 2013.

Baseball games to be played locally at the Francisco Micheli Stadium in La Romana and at the Tetelo Vargas Stadium in San Pedro de Macoris begin at 7:30pm.
