SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Moises Sierra hit a tying RBI double in the fifth and Jose Reyes added a go-ahead single two batters later as the Dominican Republic reached the World Baseball Classic final with a 4-1 win over the Netherlands on Monday night.

Edwin Encarnacion had an RBI single as the undefeated Dominicans survived a rocky start from Edinson Volquez, who benefited from Sierra's catch over the left-field wall in foul territory to end a first-inning threat.

The Dominican Republic will meet Puerto Rico in the final on Tuesday at AT&T Park, just three days after the Dominicans won their previous head-to-head meeting in Miami.
