Phillies Shortstop Freddy Galvis Wins Venezuelan League Championship

Just because the regular season ends doesn’t mean baseball is over. If anything, it is just beginning in several other countries around the world. Australia, Venezuela, the Domincan Republic, Mexico, and Puerto Rico all host their own winter leagues, with several Phillies taking part.

Freddy Galvis and the Aguilas de Zulia won their first championship in 17 years. Their last title came in 2000.

Zulia defeated the Cardenales de Lara in a 5-2 match. Now they will move on to the Caribbean Series to face the champions from the other winter leagues.
