It was the first Series fully held in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros and the first round-robin of its kind to feature two teams from the Dominican Republic.
Licey, managed by Héctor de la Cruz, finished with a 5–1 record to clinch the club's 10th Caribbean Series title since the country began participating in 1970 and the 17th overall for the Dominican Republic.
RF Nelson Cruz provided the offensive support for the team, leading the Series hitters in batting average (.407), hits (11), doubles (3), SLG (.630) and OPS (1,037).
Licey also got fine work off starters José Capellán (1-0, 3.37 ERA) and Francisco Rosario (0.00, five SO in 6.0 IP), as well from relievers Jailen Peguero (1-0) and Carlos Mármol (two saves).
This year, 15 players from the Venezuelan finals roster were unavailable for the Series, including Miguel Cabrera, Ronny Cedeño and Edgardo Alfonzo, due to Spring Training reports.
