World Baseball Championship - Dominican Republic Prevails

United States starting pitcher Reggie Thurmond took a lot of confidence to the mound against the Dominican Republic. That confidence was turned around quickly and deposited over the wall again and again.

Three different players hit two-run home runs off Thurmond and the Dominican Republic defeated the USA in a de-facto play-in game for both teams. With the win, the DR advances to the semifinals while the United States will have to try again next March.

Elsewhere, Germany and South Korea each defeated Russia and China to earn their two wins to move ahead. South Korea won the mostly meaningless third game between the two teams.

In the other pod, it was Venezuela taking care of business and knocking off the USA and Puerto Rico to earn their trip forward.
