The word "pizarra" means scoreboard (in this case).

Thanks for that... I've been listening to Spanish baseball broadcasts, but I hadn't picked that up. Do you think it's related to the Engish "Pizza"? - A large, flat object? - Jeremias, Jun 14, 2011
As far as I know linguists and philologists do not agree about the origin; for R.A.E. it is uncertain. - Agora, Jun 14, 2011

In the second game, Venezuelan outfielder (cool word for outfielder, eh? He who "guards the forest") Maglio Ordóñez won again with Pizarra, 4-0. I am not sure if Pizarra is the name of a team or a player, but it's probably a team. Ordóñez currently plays for the Detroit Tigers, but this could refer to winter baseball or a game played early in his career.
