Did the Dominican team leave its offense at Immigration? It seemed so during the better part of the DR’s Game 1 loss against Venezuela and once again during last night’s game against Puerto Rico. The Dominican team struggled mightily against a weaker Puerto Rican team, until Fernando Martinez made himself into the hero of the night. Tied 1-1 going in the seventh inning, Martinez took a swing and launched the pitch from Puerto Rican pitcher Jose Vaquedano deep into Casas Geo Stadium, giving the DR the lead and the winning run.
