U.S. beats the Domnican Republic.

This is huge. The Domnican team clobbered the Netherlands 12 -1 last week.
They called the game after 7 innings. I think the U.S. win the championship.

Should have been ball 4 putting runners at 1st and 3rd with another batter with a chance to tie or win it.

I watched the ESPN game cast so I didn't see the pitch.

anchor Pat Tomasulo is pretty good about picking that up.
