A resounding triumph
From the very first episode, the Dominican team set the tone by scoring five runs. The attack continued in the second inning with an additional run, finally sealing the duel in the third chapter with an eight-run rally that decided the match via the mercy rule.
- Melvin Cabrera earned the win from the mound.
