Raimel Tapia opened the attack with a double and scored the first run after an RBI single. Then, Deivy Mu\u00f1oz hit an RBI triple that brought Gilberto Celestino home, while a wild pitch allowed another run. Subsequently, Yairo Mu\u00f1oz produced a run with a single and Alfredo Reyes executed a bunt that caused a throwing error by the pitcher, allowing two more runs to score to make the score 6-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third inning, the Dominican Republic added two more runs and sealed the victory by knockout with an additional run in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
