Matanzas coach Armando Ferrer paid tribute to Artemisa. "We were the favourites, but I always said it would take six or seven games and that is what happened. We were considered a super team. We probably weren't, but we played well and deserved to win."

In the sixth game, Cocodrilos outscored and outhit the Cazadores in front of a sell-out crowd of 25,000 at the Victoria de Girón stadium in Matanzas. Reliever Noervys Entenza pitched three scoreless innings for the win, and hasn't allowed a run in 9.1 innings in the playoffs. 

Frank Luis Medina, who plays for Pinar del Rion in the National League, pitched 3.1 innings for the save. Matanzas captain Eduardo Blanco was named MVP of the series. The centre fielder finished with a .417 batting average.

The winter season is not yet over in Cuba. From 28 January to 2 February, Elite League champions Matanzas, an Elite League All-Star team and selections from Venezuela and Mexico will compete in the inaugural Elite League All-Star Series in Matanzas.
