Kenley Jensen, Sidney Ponson and Sharnol Adriana were the stars today for a relatively anonymous Netherlands team as they beat an All Star laden Dominican Republic powerhouse.

The Netherlands team has a roster full of players who are unknown to all but the most avid baseball geeks, but it was enough to get the win over the Dominican Republic. The DR team featured MLB players like Carlos Marmol, Edinson Volquez, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Robinson Cano, Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, Miguel Tejada and Willy Tavares, but it wasn't enough and the Netherlands won 3-2.

Catcher Kenley Jensen, who is a player in the Dodgers system, came up huge in the last inning, throwing out Tavares at third base trying to steal, resulting in the 2nd out in the 9th inning. That play was huge, as it would have put the tying run on 3rd base with only one out.

This game was an upset of epic proportions, considering the immense difference in talent between the two teams. Compare it to Appalachian State beating Michigan, the Miracle on Ice, and Villanova over Georgetown. It's that big of a deal.

Congrats to the Netherlands, who now are in great position in this double elimination round. The DR team now has to be very careful. They should still be in good shape, as they are the favorites in Pool D, but they still have to worry about Panama and Puerto Rico, and one more loss would send them right out of the tournament, after being one of the favorites heading in.
