It's official: the DR, represented by the Tigres del Licey in the Serie del Caribe has been eliminated from championship contention. The mortal blow was delivered by the Venezuelan team, Los Tigres de Aragua. It was a disappointing end for the DR's championship hopes and a troubling beginning for its international competitive schedule. The DR team had been struggling offensively and last night's 3-2 loss was a testament to those struggles. The team jumped out to an early lead after a two-run homerun by Ronny Paulino. Pitching was the DR's Achilles heel after pitcher Nerio Rodriguez gave up eight hits and three runs in five innings. But not all is to blame on the Dominican team. The Venezuelan team, with a 4-0 record, proved a formidable opponent and could be a challenger in the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
