After losing to Cuba on day one, the Dominican Republic amateur baseball team defeated Germany 13-2 yesterday in the 2011 IBAF Baseball World Cup taking place in Panama. 16 teams are competing in the event organized by the International Baseball Federation.

The Dominican Republic keeps cruising and got rid of Team Germany in a seven-inning, 13-2 victory against the second European team of the First Group at the Baseball World Cup. A fast start of the Caribbean lineup produced a big first inning, with one run out of three singles and two walks that forced manager Greg Frady to call the dugout for and substitute starter Tim Henkenjohann with Philipp Hoffschild, but a single by Juan Richardson and a triple by Mario Silvio Castillo set the score to five runs before the first three outs.

The DR lost a first game to Cuba due to a three-run rally in the sixth (3-0).
