With the win, Esocgido maintained a one-game lead on first place over the Tigres del Licey. Escogido's Sauryn Lao held the Gigantes to just four hits over six scoreless innings, striking out three.

New arrival Robert Moore's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth tied the game for the Aguilas, but Harold Ramirez hit into a fielder's choice in the top of the 10th that allowed the Estrellas to get the go-ahead run home. Euribel Angeles then singled home Ramirez for insurance, and the Estrellas poured more on, scoring four more with two outs in the inning, with Edgar Quero drawing a bases-loaded walk, Wilin Rosario singling home two runs, and then a wild pitch allowed Quero to scamper home. Trevor Bauer threw two scoreless innings as the opener for the Estrellas.

The Tigres had eight doubles in the game, with Nunez, Bonifacio, and Bryan Lavastida each collecting two and Kevin Alcantara and Sergio Alcantara each adding one.
