This opening day Caribbean Series matchup was the first game I had the opportunity to watch and score in 2009. Venezuela starter Brad Knox pitched 6 1/3 no-hit innings, albeit with five walks. After the fifth walk, he had made 88 pitches and was removed. His replacement Yohan Pino promptly served up a game-tying homer to Ronnie Belliard.
In the ninth, though, Venezuela recaptured the lead as Luis Maza improved his day at the plate to 4-5, and Francisco Butto struck out the Dominican side in order to close out the game.
