The Netherlands just pulled off what may turn out to the biggest stunt of the 2009 World Baseball Classic: a 3-2 win over the Dominican Republic. Thanks to the Dominican starting pitcher struggling with his control and his field making two errors in the first inning, we took a quick 3-0 lead. A strong outing from Sidney Ponson, combined with solid relief pitching and some outstanding defense, ensured that was all the scoring we needed. This one’s right there with our victory over Cuba at the 2000 Summer Olympics as one of our biggest wins ever. Excellent work, guys!
