Just three days after shocking the baseball world with their 3-2 win over the Dominican Republic in Pool D’s opening game, The Netherlands did it again Tuesday night by eliminating the Dominicans with a 2-1 win in 11 innings in San Juan.
After ten scoreless innings, the Dominicans pulled ahead when Jose Reyes scored on right fielder Eugene Kingsale’s throwing error. Kingsale more than atoned for his miscue in the bottom of the 11th by singling off Carlos Marmol to drive in Sidney de Jong with the tying run, then scoring the game-winner from third on a Willy Aybar throwing error.
Puerto Rico shut out The Netherlands, 5-0, Wednesday behind Jonathan Sanchez’ four shutout innings to win the pool final and join the Dutchmen in the second stanza.
