The World Baseball Classic Championship game. Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic going head-to-head for the third time in this tournament. The DR winning each of the first two. Giancarlo Alvarado the start for Puerto Rico. First and third, one out. Edwin Encarnacion takes it for a ride.

Deduno puts down Angel Pagan battling back from a 2-0 count. Deduno goes five scoreless, strikes out five. Bottom five, Eric Ibar to right field and that's going to go for extra bases. Alejandro Diaz comes in to score, 3-0 Dominican Republic with that fantastic bullpen on the way. Pedro Stroop out of the pen in the seventh inherits a two on, nobody out jam. Strikes out Carlos Rivera, then a filthy pitch to put down pitch hitter Pedro Valdez and finally Jesus Feliciano the foul pop and Miguel Tejada going back, giving up the body and a great catch from Miggy. To the ninth inning we go, still 3-0. Fernando Rodney looking for his seventh save of the tournament. The man on second, he puts down Carlos Rivera for the second out and then Luis Figueroa and the Dominican Republic wins the third installment of the World Baseball Classic with a 3-0 win over Puerto Rico. The DR becomes the first team to go unbeaten in the tournament. They finish a perfect 8-0.
