The Baseball Team of the Dominican Republic defeated Korea to get the bronze medal and take him to the country after a long day of baseball in the tokyo olympics.
The Dominican Republic and Korea gave a tasty match to define who would take the bronze.
Veteran Juan Francisco and Johan Niese were the offensive heroes with a couple of hits to take the lead in late innings.
Francisco despite the fact that for many his era as a home runner ended, he appeared at the best moment with an RBI double with the bases loaded.

But he also fired a quarterback in the first innings that it is not yet known where the ball landed.
