The ten-day event at the legendary Estadio Nacional de Beisbol came to an end last Saturday as the Gauchos of Argentina defeated Ecuador 5-0 in front of a record-number crowd. Argentina put on a phenomenal display of baseball throughout the entire tournament by going undefeated and allowing only two opposing runs to cross the plate. Led by solid pitching, superb defense and a power-packed line-up, they outscored their opponents by 67 runs, and thus walked off the diamond as South American Champions. Final standings: Argentina 1st, Ecuador 2nd, Brazil 3rd, Chile 4th, Peru 5th, Bolivia 6th. For all box scores and stats, visit the Liga Metro page. Reporting for the Shankee Press - Jack Green
