Furcalazo

The Águilas Cibaeñas baseball team's response to the Tulilazo (a famous hit by their rivals), but on a larger scale because it won the championship during the 100th anniversary of that team (the Tigres del Licey). It earned them their 20th league title, making them the first team to reach 20 championships and the team with the most championships in the Dominican Professional Baseball League.

The Furcalazo ruined the 100th birthday party for a certain team that only talked about winning the championship and their 20th crown during their centenary.

Furcal

A reference to Rafael Furcal, a famous Dominican baseball player. It specifically commemorates his clutch hit, known as the Furcalazo, which won the 2007-2008 championship for the Aguilas del Cibao. It signifies a decisive, humiliating blow against a rival, especially one that ruins a major milestone (the hit occurred during rival team Licey's 100th anniversary to break a tie for the most national titles).

The most remembered moment for Dominican fans was when Rafael Furcal hit the Furcalazo in the eighth inning to put the game 2-1 in favor of the Aguilas, winning their 20th championship and making the Aguilas the first team to reach 20 titles.
