For the second time, the Dominican All Star Team traveled to Venezuela and came back the losers. Years ago the team went to Caracas and lost 4-3, but this year they came up against some great pitching and were shut out 4-0. Of course the game means nothing and is intended only to give a chance to show off skills to scouts and local baseball fans. It is a break in the routine of league play at a time when three teams in the Dominican Winter Baseball Championship are vying for just one spot, so maybe their minds are really more on relaxing than playing a game. The Venezuelan team was led by the outstanding pitching of Renyel Pinto, Dwayne Pollock and two more relievers. Of course the two homeruns by Luis Jimenez who went 4-4 and the triple and two singles by Gregor Blanco also helped the Venezuelan cause.

No games are scheduled for tonight, but be sure to check DR1 news for tomorrow's games and the standings.
