2028 in A2L



Three teams were close together for the top spot in the African Second League’s Southern Conference. Windhoek and Maseru ended up tied at 93-69 with Lilongwe a close third at 91-71. A one-game tiebreaker went to the White Sox to earn their first-ever promotion to the African Association of Baseball’s First League.



In a competitive Central Conference, Bukavu (89-73) edged out Pointe-Noire (88-74) for the top spot. Bangui and Mombasa were close thirds at 84-78 while Bahir Dar and Kampala were 82-80. The Bluefins also earned their first-ever promotion.



In the 11th Second League Championship, Windhoek defeated Bukavu 5-3. However, the African Association announced expansion plans for 2029. Therefore both second place teams Maseru and Pointe-Noire also would be promoted for the first time. No teams from the top tier would be relegated from 2028 and expansion teams would add to the A2L.



Other notes: Lilongwe’s Daniel Tarekegn set a single-season record for pitching WAR at 7.3. Juba CF Kasao Nhantumbo became the first seven-time Gold Glove winner in A2L. Maseru LF Kali Bailey became the first to eight Silver Sluggers.
