Fleet Conference
Cuban Stars West (91-71) v New York Black Yankees (87-75)
Best of seven, West with home-field advantage.
- In another stunning series that goes the distance, the West come back to win the last two at home to take down the BYs.
- The result is in doubt until the very final out with Oscar Estrada cementing his spot in CSW folklore with a complete game win in the decider.
- Big Papi hits 320 with 2 big flies to secure the MVP award.
Weldy Conference
Cleveland Buckeyes (106-56) v Baltimore Elite Giants (91-71)
Best of seven, ABCs with home-field advantage.- Far from the straightforward summary execution one might have anticipated from a 106-win team, as the Buckeyes labour before finally putting the EGs away in six.
- Three of those are decided by a run as Baltimore makes a solid account of itself in the club's first ever playoff appearance.
- With 2 wins and 3 homers, ShoTime is named series MVP.
