The manager of the Puerto Rican ninth, Yadier Molina, has not forgotten the defeat suffered against Mexico in the World Baseball Championship and assured that they will go all out tomorrow for a rematch.

The Puerto Rican manager clarified that he already has a very defined style of play to go far in this Caribbean Series, so he let it be known that games are not only won with home runs, and Puerto Rico will play a classic baseball with "the little book under the arm" to hurt the pitching rotations and achieve title number 17.
"We will play with the little things, like ball touches, hit and run, play the bases, be active with pitching and defense."
