A coach on the team from Cuba left the Little League complex in South Williamsport Saturday night, according to a statement from Little League International.

“Jose Perez, a coach with Bayamo, Cuba, at the Little League Baseball World Series, left the Little League International Grove late last night, Saturday, August 19, and did not return. Little League International has communicated to all appropriate authorities and will ensure the Bayamo Little League team continues to have the best support and experience while in Williamsport,” according to Kevin Fountain, senior director of communications for Little League International.

The team’s 3-2 loss to Panama Sunday eliminated Cuba from title contention at the Little League World Series.
