Venezuela vs. DR at 7 pm ET/8 pm DR time

[rellosk]

End of the first:

Ven 0
DR 1

I can't believe the DR only scored one run. They had men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. What are the trying to copy team USA? At least they scored the first run of the game.

Top of the 4th: Venezuela did not scored

Ven 0
DR 1

At this point, Venezuela has more errors (1) than hits (0)!

Round 2 scoring is much different than round 1. I doubt if any games from here on out are going to be called under the mercy rule.

In the other game, Japan just took a 4-0 lead over Mexico.

Sorry, I also had to drive home. The good news is that they are actually showing this game live. They were also broadcasting the Japan-Mexico game live on UPN (Japan won 6-1).

 

[rellosk]

The game should have been over. Tejada made an error with two outs in the ninth. Now it's bases loaded top of the ninth.

 

[miguel]

9th and final inning, perhaps:

Torres out, Sanchez in for the DR.

Top of the 9th: Venezuela DID NOT SCORED.

DOMINICANS WIN!!.

The DR advances to the semifinals and Venezuela go back home with their one and only hit!.

A little scary since Venezuela had the bases loaded with 2 out!.

Good game!

Final score:

Ven 1
DR 2.

 

[rellosk]

Whew! The DR wins.
