Asia-Pacific Zone representative Seoul, Korea proved to be the most formidable defensive team through the first two days the Pony-13 World Series in Whittier, California. The Koreans appeared to be sailing smoothly to the championship game until they ran into a red hot Perris, California team, which had already picked up two close wins in the loser's bracket, and lost 8-7. Meanwhile, in the opposite division, East Zone Champion Johnstown, Pennsylvania, behind an offense that scored 33 runs in three games, advanced to the championship game with a 13-3 victory over Caribbean Zone representative Nassau, Bahamas. After winning the rematch (13-6) with Perris, Seoul used that game's momentum to propel it to victory over Johnstown, as two, four-run innings and solid relief pitching proved to be the elements for success in 9-4 win. Seoul's title represented Korea's and the Asia-Pacific Zone's first in the 13-year history of the event.
