2001 Central American Games

The 2001 Central American Games were the 7th edition of the Central American Games and were held in Guatemala.

 Nicaragua returned to their traditional dominant role, going 6-0. It helped that defending champion Panama did not attend due to financial issues. Cairo Murillo was named tournament MVP, pitching a shutout against Guatemala in the finale. Ramón Padilla ended his long run with the national team, after 15 years. He homered twice off Enrique Lemus in the finale. On the other hand, Ofilio Castro was beginning his own lengthy stint with the national team. Adolfo Matamoros hit a tourney-best .625.

 Guatemala got the Silver and  El Salvador the Bronze while  Honduras did not get a medal.
