Although the adverse result was partly due to defensive lapses in the final innings, the Dominican delegation demonstrated a first-rate technical level, gallantry, and a high sporting spirit that held the national flag high in this important international youth-level competition.

The board of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) formally congratulates each of the children, as well as the coaching staff, for their unconditional dedication, discipline, and the worthy role played throughout the entire tournament.
