The Dominicans recorded their fourth win on Wednesday, beating St. Lucia by 73 runs.

In 43.2 overs, the Dominicans posted 121. Captain Jerlani Robinson topscored with 30 and Aljai Liverpool made 22. Walter Emmanuel, 5 for 19, Carvis Robinson, 2 for 25, and Jamal Lesmond, 2 for 21.

St. Lucia, after being 36 for 1, was rooted for 48, undone bowling right arm spin of Briel Thomas, who had 6 for 10, on a low track, and Kimron George, 3 for 13.

St. Lucia, with three wins, finished third. (RT)
