Fleet Conference
St. Louis Giants (92-70) v Pittsburgh Crawfords (77-85)
Best of seven, Giants with home-field advantage.
- The Giants prevail, but not as easily as that 15-game regular season win differential might have hinted at, taking it in six to make it back to the World Series for the first time since their sole appearance and Championship in the EL's inaugural 1968 season.
- Game 4 sees an extraordinary pitching performance by Pittsburgh's Juan Pizarro, who pitches six hitless innings after starter Guillermo Moscoso leaves the game injured without retiring a batter.
- St. Louis 3B Tony Brewer is named series MVP.
Weldy Conference
Indianapolis ABCs (95-67) v Homestead Grays (89-74)
Best of seven, ABCs with home-field advantage.- A series that one suspected was going to be extremely close lives up to its billing, with the Grays finally seeing off the ABCs in six mainly tight games.
- Coincidentally, it was the Grays the Giants beat in '68 and this will be their first trip back as well.
- MVP honours go to Homestead's Eric Davis.
