Antananarivo opened with the one-game bonus as the #1 seed in the Southern Conference Championship and started game one with a 4-3 win over Pretoria in 11 innings. Clinching it was a solo walk off homer by the excellently named Big Hurt dos Santos.

The Purple Rage started up 5-0 in game two, but the Eagles had a six-run sixth inning en route to an 8-6 win. Pretoria battled back with 5-4 and 11-2 wins. However, Antananarivo secured game five 5-3 to win the series by the 4-2 margin, earning their second promotion in three years.

Mwanza had the one-game advantage in the Central Conference Championship and started hot with a 15-5 win over Bukavu. The Bluefins got one back 3-2 in game two. The White Tigers took a 8-7 walkoff winner in game three and a 7-5 result in game four to clinch the series 4-1, earning the team’s first-ever promotion. This leaves Blantyre and Juba as the only original African Second League teams to never get promoted at least once in the league’s 21-year history.

The Second League Championship needed all nine games in a battle of two evenly matched squads. Antananarivo took the first two games in Madagascar by 10-5 margins. Mwanza earned an 11-4 road win in game three, but fell 15-4 in game four back in Tanzania. However, the White Tigers rattled off three straight wins by 6-3, 14-6, and 7-0 scores to take the series lead.

The series shifted back to Antananarivo with a 7-0 home win in game eight, forcing a decisive finale. The Eagles led 8-2 entering the eighth inning, but Mwanza got three in the eighth and another three in the ninth to force extras; both innings featuring three-run homers. Jamal Saidi’s two-run bomb in the top of the 11^th was the final dagger ultimately as the White Tigers prevailed 10-8 to win the series 5-4. Saidi went 5-6 with two homers, four RBI, and three runs.

Other notes: Timothy Tefera became the 3^rd with 500 homers in A2L as well as the 2^nd to both 1500 RBI and 1500 runs scored. Jean Sony Mutoni of Blantyre set an A2L single-season record with 179 singles.
