Baseball at the 1973 Bolivarian Games

Baseball was contested at the 1973 Bolivarian Games, held in Panama City, Panama. All of the games were played at the Estadio Juan Demóstenes Arosemena. Three nations participated: Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela.

Colombia won its first gold medal at the Bolivarian Games, after achieving a major upset victory against Venezuela, which traditionally dominated the tournament. The team was managed by Antonio "Manía" Torres, and included players such as Abel Leal and José Miguel Corpas.

Venezuela opened the tournament with a 3-2 victory over Panama on February 18, decided in extra innings. Anchored by pitcher Félix Valenilla, Venezuela went on to win all three games against Panama. It fell to Colombia thrice: in the second round, by a score of 10–5; and a climactic 4–3 loss on February 28 that secured Colombia the gold. Colombia lost its final game to Panama, though it did not affect the standings.
