The victorious Aguilas Cibaeñas are scheduled to return to Santo Domingo at noon today after having won all six of their games in the Caribbean World Series which ended last night in Puerto de la Cruz, Venezuela. The Aguilas, in a final game held last night, defeated Mexico, 8-2. The Aguilas had already won the series the day before. Neifi Pérez batted in 10 homeruns in the series, winning the Most Valuable Player award. Pérez established a new record of doubles in a series, with six, and batted an average of .444 with 12 hits. Other awards received by the Dominican team were: Tony Peña, the best manager; Guiillermo García, best catcher; Alex Arias, best first baseman; Miguel Tejada, best second baseman; Luis Polonia, best in left field; best pitcher Julian Tavarez; and stopper José Cabrera. Dominican team players, with the exception of the short field position, made up the All Stars team roster for the Caribbean Series. Last year the Aguilas won the Caribbean Series after losing their first two games. This is the fourth time a Dominican team wins all its commitments in a Caribbean Series. The Licey Tigers had also done so in 1971, 1977 and 1991. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
