Caguas captured its 21st LBPRC championship, winning the series five games to three. It was a productive series for both Sox farmhands, as Christian Koss (pictured) played in seven of the eight games for Caguas. He went 5 for 20 with a home run, three RBI, and a stolen base. His home run and all three of his RBI came in Game Two, when Caguas exploded for 13 runs in the win. He also picked up a single and a stolen base in the eighth and final game of the series, a 4-1 Caguas win. 

Left-hander Jorge Benitez appeared in four of the eight games on the mound for Caguas, totaling 4 2/3 innings pitched. He surrendered six hits, three runs, three walks, and struck out seven. In Games One and Six each, he tossed a scoreless inning with no walks and two strikeouts. He picked up the save in Game Six as well. In the final game of the series, he threw two innings and allowed one run with three strikeouts.
