NOTABLE PERFORMER
Morejon finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs scored. In Cuba, he is known as one of the best defensive catchers in the game.
PLAY OF THE GAME
The offense did its part, but Cuba's pitching also deserves credit. Starter Ulfrido Garcia allowed three runs on six hits in five strong innings. Reliever Leandro Martinez pitched four innings of hitless relief, striking out two and walking one.
GAME 2
Mexico 8, Dominican Republic 1
Former Major League pitcher Sergio Mitre allowed one run in six innings to pace Mexico in a victory over the Dominican Republic in the final game for the home country in the Caribbean Series.
Mexico (1-3) was eliminated from championship contention Monday night.
Right fielder Sebastian Elizalde scored Mexico's first run in the first inning on an error and scored again, along with center fielder Justin Greene, on another error in the fifth to extend the lead to 3-0.
Former Major League infielder Alfredo Amezaga, who retired from Mexican Pacific League play after the game, hit a two-run triple in the sixth to push Mexico's lead to 5-1. Amezaga later scored on a two-run home run from Greene.
In one of the most memorable moments of the game, the crowd gave Amezaga a standing ovation, and his teammates embraced him outside of the dugout before his final at-bat in the eighth. He struck out swinging.
Mexico was seeking its fifth Caribbean Series title in the last nine years, with its most recent championship coming in 2016.
NOTABLE PERFORMER
Greene, who was drafted by the White Sox in 2008, was the catalyst at the top of Mexico's lineup. He finished 2-for-4 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBIs. He also spent two seasons in the Minors with the D-backs and has played the last four years in Mexico.
PLAY OF THE GAME
It was a less-than-stellar performance for Mexico in this year's tournament, but Mitre did his part to make sure the country picked up at least one win. The right-handed pitcher struck out three and walked only one. He retired six of the first seven batters he faced and kept the Dominican Republic team off-balance at the plate throughout his outing.
