Team Israel baseball’s hopes of an Olympic medal ended on Tuesday after it lost a game in dramatic fashion to the Dominican Republic.

It lost 7-6 to the Dominicans after former MLB All-Star José Bautista drove in a walk-off, RBI single off Israeli pitcher DJ Sharabi in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game.

It capped a disappointing appearance for Team Israel, which only managed to win one game out of five appearances in Tokyo. Israel beat Mexico, 12-5, on Sunday for the team’s only win after losses to South Korea and the United States in the opening round, then another loss to South Korea before Tuesday’s loss to the Dominican Republic.
