The 107^th Copa Sudamerica began in the Brazilian capital on a 4-3 Bearcats win. Valencia got all of their runs in the top of the ninth, but couldn’t complete the rally. The Velocity kept that momentum going with a 4-1 win in game two, with all of the game’s runs in the final two frames. As the series shifted to Venezuela, Valencia had a 5-0 game three triumph on Benedito Garay’s three-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts.

It was all Velocity after that with 8-5 and 8-2 home wins to secure the Cup in five games. Valencia became five-time South American champs (1977, 1978, 2011, 2021, 2037) and were 5-5 in the finals, while Brasilia fell to 4-3. In his second season for the Velocity, veteran LF Ismael Pimentel was series MVP going 11-18 with four RBI. He had signed after a decade with Manaus which included the 2026 league MVP. Pimentel would opt out of his five-year deal though and opt for free agency for 2038.

Other notes: Otavio Furtado retired after 20 seasons with Santiago, posting a 4.22 ERA, 10-16 record, and 2.3 WAR over 232.2 innings to close his career. His 199 strikeouts got him to 5036 Ks, becoming the 9^th in the 5K club for Beisbol Sudamerica. He’s one of only 46 in world history with 5000 or more strikeouts. Furtado also finished with a 324-187 record, 3.21 ERA, 4848.2 innings, 225 complete games, 49 shutouts, 115 ERA+, 79 FIP-, and 116.1 WAR.

Furtado retired 4^th on the BSA wins list and 22^nd among all pitchers ever. For BSA, he finishes 4^th in innings, 6^th in complete games, and 10^th in pitching WAR. He also ranks 34^th among all pitchers for total innings. Furtado is one of the stronger pitchers to never win Pitcher of the Year, although he was a five-time finalist. He’s BSA all-time playoff leader for wins (20-10), innings (287.1), starts (38), and hits allowed (289). Furtado had a 3.16 playoff ERA with 273 strikeouts, 116 ERA+, 85 FIP-, and 6.2 WAR.

In hitting milestones, Paco Amorim became the 9^th member of the 700 home run club. He was now on the cusp of other major marks after his 19^th season with Arequipa with 3395 hits, 1991 runs, 737 homers, 1917 RBI, and 1597 walks. Amorim is now up to 25^th in world history for walks drawn and is the BSA all-time leader. Amorim also posted 9.3 WAR in his age 37 season, giving him 147.3 for his career. He now ranks 5^th among BSA position players, 9^th among all BSA players, and 58^th on the world leaderboard among all pros.

In other milestones, Marc Melgar was the 28^th to 1500 runs scored and Juan Suarez was the 43^rd to 1500 RBI. Melgar picked up his 8^th Silver Slugger in RF. Simon Veronese was the 73^rd to 500 homers. 95 hitters now had 2500 hits with Ismael Pimentel, Antonio Coria, Bryce Guerra, and Irwin Contreras each getting there in 2037. 3B Dunier Dorame won his 8^th Gold Glove and 1B Rafael Setiantoro won his 7^th.
