Tuesday, March 12 2013 by SNTV-
Intro:
Robinson Cano homered and the undefeated Dominican Republic beat Puerto Rico 4-2 on Sunday night to win their first-round Group C in the World Baseball Classic.Script:
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Tony Pena, Dominican Republic manager **ROUGH TRANSLATION**: (On the Puerto Rico game):
"Incredible, incredible because we knew that all of the games were going to be difficult, today we played a very difficult game again and two teams that are very good these teams, and in the end, we came out victorious. But it's a great team and we're both going to face each other in Miami again."
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Edwin Rodriguez, Puerto Rico manager **ROUGH TRANSLATION**: (On facing the USA in their next game):
"Really when you just finished playing a round like we played, where we had the Dominican Republic lineup and Venezuela lineup, I believe that we've passed one of the toughest tests in this first round and from now on we are not surprised with the line-up that may come up. I believe that that Venezuela's line-up and Dominican Republic itself were and are the most powerful in the whole Classic and the whole tournament of the Classic and we've gone through that, so I believe we did quite well and so the lineup of Team USA, it's strong, but I believe that the kids passed the test."
