Tatis’ grand slam, 6 RBIs leads Dominican Republic over Israel 10-1 and into WBC quarterfinals | Sports

Fernando Tatis hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, and the Dominican Republic clinched a spot in the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals with a 10-1 win over Israel on Monday in Miami.

Tatis homered in the second inning on a 78.5 mph changeup off loser Ryan Prager, standing at home plate and admiring his no-doubt drive over the left-field wall, then added a two-run single in the seventh. Geraldo Perdomo had put the Dominicans ahead with a bases-loaded walk.
