On March 13th, Japan time, the Dominican team, which finished first in Group D, decisively defeated South Korea, ranked second in Group C, with a score of 10-0. The game concluded in the seventh inning due to the mercy rule, highlighted by a three-run home run from Wells of the Yankees, showcasing the Dominicans' formidable offensive power.

Throughout the tournament, the Dominican Republic has demonstrated exceptional batting prowess, hitting a total of 14 home runs over five matches.
