Notes

Only three players returned from the 2006 World Series Paraguana championship team: Oswar Murillo, Marcos Pina, and Leonardo Rojas... Scored 15 runs in the top of the seventh inning in 22-4 win over Vilnius.. 9-0 loss to Rose Capital East American/National was the first time a Latin America team had been shutout in a Bangor World Series... 5-4 win over Hilo American/National was in nine innings. It was the first time an elimination game in a Bangor World Series had been decided in extra innings... Became the second league to reach the championship game in two consecutive years in Bangor World Series history. Pearl City L.L., Pearl City, Hawaii, was the first, with appearances in 2005 and 2006, losing both...  The championship game was the first to be televised live by ESPN, on ESPNU... Rojas was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 14th round (478th overall pick) of the 2012 Major League Baseball amateur draft. He was then suspended for 50 games in the 2012 season by Minor League Baseball after testing positive for steroids...
