The 1969 Amateur World Series was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic from August 15 through August 26, 1969. For the first time since 1942, the United States of America sent a team to an Amateur World Series.[citation needed] They advanced to the finals against Cuba, both clubs being 9-0. Before 20,000 fans (predominantly pro-Cuba following a 1965 US invasion of the Dominican Republic), Cuba won a hard-fought 2-1 battle. Gaspar Pérez drove in Cuba's first run to tie the game and scored the second; he was not only the winning pitcher, but had clearly earned the win with his two-way play.[citation needed]
