Discrepancy

A third source, hoydo, reports a different game: a 7-0 no-hitter by Suriel against Colombia, with a six-run first inning and a final run in the fourth, resulting in a 1-1 record for the Dominican Republic. This contradicts the other sources' account of a 4-0 win over Guatemala and a 2-1 record Source: hoydo. The discrepancy likely stems from a different game or an error in reporting.
