LARA, Barquisimeto (ap),-Los Cardenales de Lara se proclamaron campeones de la Liga Venezolana de Béisbol Profesional el lunes, luego de remontar para vencer 4-2 a los Caribes de Anzoátegui en el séptimo y definitivo encuentro de la serie final.
Josemar Cordero y Yordanys Linares conectaron sendos sencillos remolcadores para coronar un ataque de tres anotaciones en el octavo episodio. Así, los Cardenales consiguieron el sexto título en su historia, y el segundo en las últimas tres temporadas.
Con ello, se ganaron el derecho de representar a Venezuela en la Serie del Caribe que se disputará del 1 al 7 de febrero en San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Carlos Rivero sacudió un cuadrangular solitario para colaborar también a la ofensiva por los Cardenales, que ganaron los últimos dos encuentros de la serie.
Wilking Rodríguez (2-1) retiró una entrada en blanco como relevista y se llevó la victoria. El revés fue al registro de Ángel Nesbitt (0-2), sacudido con tres anotaciones y dos carreras en apenas dos tercios de entrada.
