Caballos 8, Águilas 4 (Caballos win series 3-0)
OK, this game was the clincher, not Monday's, like I originally thought. Caballos basically dominated this series, outscoring Águilas 34-6 en route to the crown. Telvin Nash doubled in 4 at-bats and scored a run, while Jack Mayfield finished 3-4 with a double, 2 RBI, and 2 runs scored. \
Caballos will represent Panama in the Serie Latinoamericana, which is being held in Panama this year. That tournament runs from February 27 to March 1 and will also feature the champions from Colombia, Nicaragua, and Mexico (not the LMP; the Mexican representative will come out of the Veracruz Winter League).

Probeis Panama Championship Series Game 2 Recap
It was a rather quiet Monday night in the MLB-affiliated Caribbean leagues; Gigantes blanked Estrellas 4-0 to get on the board in the Dominican Championship Series. In Mexico, their championship series is set; Culiacán walked off with a 9-8 win in the deciding game 7 to clinch a date with Jalisco. There was, however, one game featuring Astros players in the winter leagues: Game 2 of the LPBP Championship Series between Caballos and Águilas.
Well, this series was totally dominated by Caballos as they took the crown with a 9-0 victory. They outscored Águilas 26-2 in the 2 wins. In this game, they shelled Harold Arauz for 3.1 innings. Arauz gave up 6 runs on 7 hits, walked 3, and struck out 2.
For the champs, Telvin Nash went 0-4, while Jack Mayfield finished 1-4 with a run scored.

This was the final regular-season game for both squads.
Santurce 4, San Juan 1
This game was memorable as it featured one man playing all 9 positions. Jose Lozada started in center field for San Juan. He played 1 inning at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, RF, then in the 8th, he moved behind the plate, and then got the final 2 outs of the inning on the mound.
Ruben Sosa got the start in CF for Santurce and finished 2-2 with a walk, a run scored, and 2 steals, his first 2 swipes in Puerto Rico. Travis Ballew was the first man out of the Santurce bullpen and he got the win with 2 scoreless, allowing 2 hits, walking 1, and striking out 2.
Santurce has 2 games to finish with Mayagüez today; one of them originally started on the 16th, but was suspended. A doubleheader was also scheduled for that day but was rained out, so now they're playing those games today. Then, and only then, will the regular season be completed.

AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE
The Adelaide Bite dropped the first game of their series as part of a series-opening twinbill with the Canberra Cavalry, but they wound up taking the next 3 to win the series. This was a doubleheader because Friday was Boxing Day.
Saturday Game 1: Canberra 2, Adelaide 1
Chan-Jong Moon finished 0-2 with a walk and a strikeout. Tyler Brunnemann worked around a hit to record the final out of the 6th.
Saturday Game 2: Adelaide 2, Canberra 1
Moon went 1-3 with a walk, a strikeout, and a run scored.
Sunday: Adelaide 6, Canberra 3
Moon finished 2-4 with 2 runs scored.
Brunnemann was summoned to secure the win in what was turning out to be a rough 9th inning. He inherited a bases-loaded situation after the pitcher in front of him, Troy Scott, got a double play. The Cavalry dinged Bruno for a 2-run single (which allowed 2 of Scott's runs to score), and then a rare walk issued by Brunnemann re-loaded the bases. But, he was finally able to finish off the game before things started snowballing again.
Monday: Adelaide 6, Canberra 5 in 12 innings
Moon went 0-4 with a walk, a strikeout, and a run scored. Brunnemann worked around a 2-out double to throw a scoreless 10th, striking out 1.
The Bite will host Sydney next weekend, which includes a doubleheader on Saturday.
