Dominican Republic extends its undefeated streak in the Kids Caribbean Series
The Dominican Republic team reaffirmed its status as the favorite in the Kids Caribbean Series after securing a resounding 14-2 victory over Mexico Green. With this win, the Dominicans not only maintain their immaculate record in the tournament, but also extend their impressive streak of consecutive victories to 14 since the start of the 2024 competition.
Nolbis Marcos leads the historic attack
The central figure of the match was Nolbis Marcos, who starred in a memorable offensive day. Marcos hit two home runs, demonstrating his versatility by batting one left-handed and the other right-handed, in addition to driving in three runs and scoring three times. With this performance, the young player accumulates three home runs in the current edition.
Nolbis Marcos positions himself as the third greatest home run hitter in the history of the Dominican delegation in this tournament, remaining just one home run away from tying Gustavo Talmarez’s mark and three away from Anyelo Feliz’s all-time record.
A resounding triumph
The Dominican dominance was evident from the first inning with a five-run rally. The offense did not lower its intensity, adding a run in the second inning and sealing the game in the third act with an eight-run cluster, which triggered the mercy rule.
- Victory from the mound: Melvin Cabrera earned the win after a solid performance that limited the Mexican offense to just two hits.
- Rival defense: Mexico Green faced defensive difficulties, committing four errors that facilitated the Dominican team’s advance.
- Tournament record: This matchup became the sixth duel in the event’s history to be decided by the mercy rule, being the fourth time that the Dominican Republic has been involved in this type of outcome.
With a 2-0 record, the Dominican Republic stands alone at the top of the standings. After a scheduled rest day this Wednesday, the team prepares to continue its triumphant march and defend its undefeated streak in the upcoming dates of the Kids Caribbean Series.
