The Caribbean Series returned to Venezuela after seven years of absence. The Tigres del Licey club, managed by Casey Parsons, finished with a 5–1 record to obtain its seventh title in the Series and the ninth overall for the Dominican Republic since its inception in 1970. The pitching staff allowed only four earned runs in their first four games while winning five games in a row before losing a meaningless last contest. The offense was paced by first baseman Jim Bowie, who hit .444 (8-for-20) with three home runs and 11 runs batted in to claim Most Valuable Players honors. Meanwhile, outfielder Raúl Mondesí hit .450 (9-for-20) to win the batting title, while driving in six runs and scoring six times. The pitching rotation went 4–0 with a 1.00 ERA, and was led by Pedro Astacio (1-0, 0.00) and Julián Tavárez (1-0, 1.23). The team also featured pitchers Pedro Martínez, Yorkis Pérez and Efraín Valdez; catcher Gilberto Reyes and outfielder Bernardo Brito, as well as infielders Alex Arias, Juan Bell, Juan Guerrero, Francisco Matos, Junior Noboa and Henry Rodríguez, among others.
The Senadores de San Juan went 3–3 to finish in third place. With Luis Meléndez at the helm, the representing team of Puerto Rico received a fine pitching performance from Tom McCarthy (2-0, 1.29 ERA, two starts) and José Alberro (0.00, six innings). Their most productive hitters were Carlos Baerga, with a team-best average of .391 (9-for-23), and Carlos Delgado, who batted .364 and slugged .864, including three homers, seven RBI and six runs.
