After the 7-0 forfeit victory against Distrito Capital, Lara achieved his third victory by beating those who would eventually be his rivals in the final, beating Carabobo 8-2. A day later, they beat Zulia 3 to 2 in a close game, to reach 4-0 and closed the Opening Round of the tournament undefeated and reached the final by beating Miranda 3 to 0 by shutout.
Lara would face Carabobo again in the final and would leave them on the field with a result of 3 to 2, thus proclaiming himself champion of the tournament. Fernando Vásquez left without a decision, but he excelled by pitching seven innings in which he allowed six hits, with two runs, one walk and four strikeouts.
While Nelson Aguiero was the great offensive protagonist by going 1 for 2 with two RBIs and two walks, he was accompanied by Octavio Bocaranda who went 1 for 3 with RBI. Jesús Yépez was the winner, pitching a blank eighth inning, in which he barely allowed one walk and struck out one.
