The Escogido Lions were the favorites to win this year. But for the fifth time in six years, the Aguilas Cibaeñas were to celebrate the victory. The Aguilas defeated the Escogido in their home stadium in Santiago, 4-1 to grab the 2000-2001 penchant. The series ended with four victories for the Aguilas versus only two for the Escogido. The Aguilas will now travel to Culiacán, Mexico for the Caribbean Series that starts Friday, 2 February.
