Bautista's bat carries team to Caribbean win
Monday, February 04, 2008

Pirates third baseman Jose Bautista accounted for all of his Dominican winter team's offense yesterday, homering in the second inning and hitting the winning sacrifice fly in the 11th as Licey beat Mexico, 2-1, in the Caribbean World Series in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Licey is 2-0 in the round-robin portion of the four-team tournament.

Reliever Damaso Marte, still experiencing neck stiffness after a minor car accident last Monday, did not pitch for a second consecutive day and has not yet been added to Licey's active roster for the series.
