Exactly six days ago when we lost 6-0 to Puerto Rico in the qualifying round we were entitled “the movie I already saw”.

Four more pitchers passed through the mound, but they could not prevent the eighth and ninth Puerto Rican scores, while at the time of picking up the bats, ours threatened with full bases without outs, but Yoelkis Guibert struck out and Yasiel González hit for double play.
