Maracaibo and La Paz both won their divisions again in the Bolivar League in 1942. The defending league-champ Mariners won their third straight division title with a 97-63 record, outlasting Barquisimeto by two games. The Pump Jacks won their fourth straight division with a 96-66 mark, six games better than Quito.

Black Cats RF Matias Amaro won his second MVP in his fourth season. Amaro led the Bolivar League in home runs (48), WAR (11.5), triple slash (.307/,400/.627), OPS (1.027), and wRC+ (216). Amaro led the league in homers for the third straight season. Barquisimeto also had the Pitcher of the Year in Angel Guitron with a 21-7 record, league best 1.68 ERA, 12.1 WAR, 23 complete games and 10 shutouts. Guitron’s 403 strikeouts were only 10 behind Mohamed Ramos, preventing Guitron from grabbing a Triple Crown.

In Liga Cono Sur, Sao Paolo won the Brazil Division for the first time. The Padres went 94-68, three games ahead of Salvador and four over Fortaleza. Last year’s winner Rio de Janeiro dropped to 77 wins. Defending Copa Sudamerica champ Buenos Aires again claimed the South Division with a franchise record 104-58 season.

The Atlantics had both the league MVP and Pitcher of the Year. RF Rene Espinoza grabbed MVP on a career year with the lead in OBP (.385), slugging (.592), OPS (.997), and wRC+ (217). Evan Yho was the top pitcher with the lead in ERA (1.24) and WHIP (0.67) with all by one of his 35 starts a quality start. Yho also had 10.4 WAR and was second in wins (22) and strikeouts (363). Timoteo Caruso meanwhile had a staggering 16.0 WAR season, but finished behind Yho in the voting as the Redbirds struggled.

The Bolivar League Championship Series was round three between La Paz and Maracaibo with the Pump Jacks claiming the rubber match in five games for their third title in four seasons. Buenos Aires earned back-to-back Southern Cone titles by defeating Sao Paolo in six games. In Copa Sudamerica, the Atlantics beat the Pump Jacks in five games for back-to-back overall titles.

Other notes: Buenos Aires pitcher Lincoln Parra threw a perfect game on August 28 against Rosario with nine strikeouts. Mohamed Ramos made it to 5500 career strikeouts, while Callao’s Pierre Ramirez in second place just passed 3500 Ks. Ramos also became the first to 250 career wins. Valencia’s Chano Angel became the first to 400 career saves. Sao Paolo LF Carlo Mizurado and Rio de Janeiro RF Martin Arriaga both became seven-time Gold Glove winners. CF Saul Vargas of Cali became a seven-time Silver Slugger winner.
