The Dominican Republic
defeated Team Netherlands 4-1 to advance to the final of the
2013 World Baseball Classic tomorrow night against Puerto Rico. The
Dominicans scored all four runs in the fifth inning. The
Netherlands, who had beaten the D.R. twice in the 2009 WBC, could
not replicate that magic tonight. Dominican pitchers held Team
Netherlands to four hits as Fernando Rodney celebrated his 36th
birthday with a save.
Late in the game, there were seagulls on the field and flying
into the view of the centerfield camera. It was quite annoying and
I was nearly 3,000 miles away.
The undefeated Dominican team has beaten Puerto Rico twice in
the WBC tournament. However, it is difficult to beat a team thrice
in a row. So I’m not counting out Puerto Rico tomorrow
night.

Did you notice that no one commented on your last article about this little league joke tournament. Don't waste time writing about this you and the MLB channel seem to be only ones who think this is a serious tournament.

When did the Dutch start playing baseball? That's a new one on me.
