Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, the playoff teams in the 2013 World Baseball Championships, will have a go at each other at 9pm ET on Tuesday, 14 March 2017 from San Diego’s Petco Park. Both teams swept all their three games played in the opening divisions of the World Baseball Classic.
The Dominican team will be flying in from Miami where it had played in Pool C; the Puerto Ricans will cross the border from Mexico after playing in Pool D.
Twins right-hander Ervin Santana will be pitching for the defending champs Team DR.
“We have to face the best teams, and definitely Dominican is one of them,” Puerto Rico manager Edwin Rodriguez said. “We’re ready for them, and I’m sure they also have been watching us, too, in the same way we’ve been watching them. It’s going to be a great game.”
