After an opening pitch by Panamanian Cooperstown Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera, the Caribbean Series took off at the Rod Carew Stadium in Panama City on Monday, 4 February 2019. It was a good start for the Dominican Republic team.
Playing without their three leading stars, the Dominican representative, the Estrellas Orientales defeated Puerto Rico’s Cangrejeros de Santurce for their first win in the Caribbean Series taking place 4-10 February in Panama City. The win was attributed to the good pitching by Nestor Cortés throughout his opening five innings. The Dominican team will now play against the Toros de Herrera of Panama in the series that continues this evening at 9pm.
In the series, the Dominican Republic is playing in Group B against Panama and Puerto Rico. Venezuela, Cuba and Mexico are in Group A.
