CAROLINA, Puerto Rico -- American League MVP Miguel Tejada tripled, doubled twice and singled to lead the Dominican Republic's Cibao Eagles to the Caribbean Series championship with a 7-3 victory over Puerto Rico's Mayaguez Indians on Saturday night.

Tejada also scored three runs and David Ortiz drove in two. Ortiz, who recently signed with the Boston Red Sox, was picked as most valuable player of the tournament after leading in batting average (.480), RBI (11), runs scored (eight) and doubles (five).

The Dominican Republic got another stellar performance from its starting pitching for the second consecutive night. Winner Claudio Vargas allowed two hits in six scoreless innings.

Friday, the Eagles got seven shutout innings and 12 strikeouts from Jose Acevedo to defeat the Indians 6-0 and force a tiebreaker.

This was the Eagles' fourth Caribbean Series title, and the 14th for the Dominican Republic. The victory sparked a wild celebration by thousands of flag-waving Dominican fans, who took to the field of the Roberto Clemente Stadium.

The champions finished with a 6-1 record and the Indians were 5-2. The Caguas Creoles, also from Puerto Rico, were 2-4 and Mexico's Caneros of Los Mochis were 0-6.

The Dominicans scored four times in the first inning. Tejada singled home Rafael Furcal, Tony Batista added a run-scoring single, Ortiz scored on a wild pitch and Raul Mondesi had a sacrifice fly.

Tejada doubled in the third, stole second and scored on a single by Ortiz.

The Dominicans made it 7-0 in the ninth on doubles by Tejada and Batista and a triple by Ortiz.

In the bottom half, Julio Matos hit a two-run triple and Javier Valentin had a sacrifice fly.
