CAIMANES COP SECOND CONSECUTIVE COLOMBIAN CROWN

The Barranquilla Caimanes defeated the Monteria Leones in seven games to win the Colombian League Championship Series for their second straight pennant. Barranquilla trailed 3 games to 2 in the series before winning Games Six and Seven by scores of 9-2 and 10-7, respectively.

Barranquilla, Monteria and the Cartagena Tigres all had 4-4 records in the opening stage round-robin, but the Tigres were bounced from the finals because they finished third behind the Caimanes and Leones in the regular season.

Monteria’s Reynaldo Rodriguez won the Colombian batting title with a .378 average, while Caratgena pitcher Ryan Knippschild led the league with five wins and a 2.30 ERA.
