Yesterday's results are in and the 3-0 DR team improved to 4-0 yesterday with a 2-1 win over Venezuela (1-3) and the 2-1 DR team improved to 3-1 with a 4-1 win over Mexico, who falls to 0-4. This is important because if both DR teams win today, they will play each other in the final where one can win or they could end up with the same record. This year, the Series has a chance to go down to the wire.
Here are the normal stat lines:
Tejada: 0-3, R, BB
Diaz: 1-3, R, BB
A Hernandez: 0-4
Offerman: 1-4, R
Sosa: 0.2 IP, H, ER, 2 BB, 1 HR
It looks like there is very little chance for A Hernandez to hit like he normally does at this time of the year with only two games left in the Series. His average so far in the Series has been a submendoza line .167.
This is the first run of the season, including regular winter play, that Sosa has given up a run. During this outing as you can you see by the line, he had some trouble, but it puts his Series ERA at 2.70, which if he maintains a 2.70 during the regular season, I would be all smiles as most fans would be. (It is his first run over all during 8.1 IP).
