Cardenales de Lara (13-15) completed the first victory of the seventh week of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP) against Tiburones de La Guaira (15-17), by beating them 5-2 at the Jorge Luis García Carneiro Stadium in Macuto, La Guaira state, reported David Villarroel, press chief of Los Pájaros Rojos.
With this victory, the feathered team equals fifth place in the standings with the Litoralenses. The victory was awarded to right-hander Brian Mckenna (1-0), while the setback went to Anthony Castro (1-2) and the save went to Edwin Escobar (2).
The match was started by right-hander Robert Colina, who worked for 4.2 solid innings, in which he got four hits, scored two earned runs, walked one and fanned five rivals, leaving without a decision.
Larense relief
Colina’s work was relieved by Jesús Valles (1.1 IP, 0 CL, 0 H), Luis Rico (0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 CL), Brian McKenna (1.1 IP, 1 BB, 1 SO, 0 CL) and Edwin Escobar (1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 CL, 2 BB, 1 SO). The sharks only managed to connect five uncatchables before the twilight arms.
The running movement for the Larenses began in the sixth inning, when Rangel Ravelo equalized the actions with a superb two-run home run. Then, in the eighth inning, another hit by Ravelo would bring two more hits, due to an error by shortstop Gabriel Arias.
In the ninth inning, Hendrik Clementina hit a solo home run, his third of the season, and set the final numbers. The outstanding numbers were for Rangel Ravelo (4-2, 1 HR, 2 CA), Luisángel Acuña (3-2, 1 BB) and Hendrik Clementina (2-1, 1 HR, 1 CI, 1 BB).

**Short Interview with Cardinal Robert McElroy**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Cardinal McElroy. It must be an exciting and humbling experience to be appointed as a cardinal. Can you share what this honor means to you personally?
**Cardinal McElroy:** Thank you for having me. Being named a cardinal is truly a profound honor. It represents not just a personal achievement but also a call to serve the Church more deeply and to advocate for those who are marginalized in our society. I feel a strong sense of responsibility to carry out this mission.
**Interviewer:** In your recent interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, you expressed your thoughts on why you believe you were chosen for this position. Could you elaborate on that?
**Cardinal McElroy:** Certainly. I think the Holy Father sees in me a commitment to the Church that is inclusive and compassionate. My focus has always been on building bridges within our communities. The Church faces many challenges today, and I believe my vocation is to help unite and heal those divisions, especially in current socio-political climates.
**Interviewer:** What specific issues do you plan to focus on as you take on this new role?
**Cardinal McElroy:** I intend to focus significantly on social justice issues, climate change, and the ongoing advocacy for the rights of immigrants and refugees. These are pressing concerns that require urgent action. Additionally, I plan to work on strengthening interfaith dialog, fostering a sense of community across different beliefs.
**Interviewer:** Many young Catholics and parishioners look up to figures like yourself. What message would you like to convey to them during your tenure?
**Cardinal McElroy:** I would encourage young people to remain engaged and active in their faith communities. The Church needs their energy, ideas, and perspectives. It’s important for them to understand that their voices are vital in shaping the future of our Church. I urge them to be advocates of love and justice in a world that often lacks both.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Cardinal McElroy. It’s inspiring to hear your vision for the future of the Church.
**Cardinal McElroy:** Thank you for having me. I look forward to the journey ahead. [[1](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/en-espanol/noticias/ut-espanol/articulo/2022-08-27/el-nuevo-cardenal-de-estados-unidos-robert-mcelroy-habla-de-por-que-cree-que-ha-sido-elegido)]
