Defending Southern Cone League champ Fortaleza had an all-time campaign in 2041 as they won their fourth consecutive North Division title. The Foxes finished 117-45, which was the second-best record in league history and tied for the third-best in Beisbol Sudamerica history. Fortaleza led the league with 838 runs and had BSA’s best differential at +257.

The fight for the #2 seed was also the fight for the Southeast Division down the stretch. Tied on the final day, Rio de Janeiro lost their finale 4-1 to Buenos Aires while Montevideo won 11-4 over Porto Alegre. At 97-65, the Venom ended a seven-year playoff and division title drought. The Redbirds at 96-66 earned their sixth straight playoff trip. As BSA seeding doesn’t give preference to division champs, this means Montevideo is the #2 and will host #3 Rio in the divisional round.

Valparaiso ended on a seven-game winning streak to go 92-70 and take the South Central Division for the fifth straight year. Asuncion was second at 89-73, tying with the North’s Manaus for the final playoff spot. The Archers went on the road and shutout the Magpies 5-0 in the one-game playoff, getting 8.2 innings of three-hit ball from Michael Colagrande.

Asuncion ended a 15-year playoff drought with their win and allowed the fewest runs in BSA at 555. The next teams out in the wild card race were Concepcion (86-76) and Sao Paulo (85-77). The Padres have gone 21 years without a losing season. Salta and Santiago were both wild cards last year, but both fell hard in 2041 to 71-91 and 66-96, respectively. The Silver Hawks had been on a 12-year run without a losing season.

Despite their playoff miss, Sao Paulo 1B Lonnie Defendi won Southern Cone League MVP with all but two first place votes. In his third year as a starter, the 26-year old Argentine lefty led in home runs (62), total bases (435), OBP (.431), OPS (1.152), wRC+ (212), and WAR (11.0). Defendi added 223 hits, 120 runs, 137 RBI, and a .369 average.

Montevideo’s Aramis Biffi was Pitcher of the Year with 32 first place votes, while Asuncion’s Michael Colagrande had nine. The 27-year old Biffi led in wins (24-8), innings (271), and shutouts (5). The Argentine righty had a 2.62 ERA, 257 strikeouts, 146 ERA+, 78 FIP- and 6.7 WAR.

The runner-up Colagrande won co-Rookie of the Year and the ERA title at 2.11. The 22-year old Uruguayan had a 13-10 record, 10 saves, 196.2 innings, 218 Ks, 180 ERA+, 80 FIP-, and 4.1 WAR. He was a third round draft pick out of high school in 2037. Colagrande and Sao Paulo two-way man Caio Parada split the ROTY voting evenly to share the honor. Parada had 4.5 WAR and .952 as a batter, but -0.6 WAR over 182 innings pitching.

Valparaiso swept Asuncion on 8-2 and 5-4 first round wins. Game two went ten innings with a walkoff solo homer by Zacarias Ramos. The Voodoo carried the momentum and shocked top-seed Fortaleza 2-1 and 5-1 to open the divisional series. The Foxes claimed game three on the road 5-1, but Valparaiso secured the stunning upset in four games with a 2-1, 10 inning win. Orlando Becerra had the RBI double to score Gordon Iddrisu from first.

For the Voodoo, they earned their fourth consecutive appearance in the Southern Cone League Championship. The 2041 Foxes go down as possibly the biggest disappointment in BSA history with their one-and-done at 117-45. The other four teams in BSA that had as many or more wins each went onto win the cup. It was even more shocking considering Fortaleza was also the defending champ.

Montevideo opened their divisional series with a 3-2 walkoff win over Rio de Janeiro, getting two runs on three hits in the ninth. In game two, the Redbirds tied it at 4-4 with a three-run top of the ninth. In the bottom half, Francisco Badillo’s two-out homer just down the right field line gave the Venom another walkoff win at 5-4.

Rio fought back with 12-8 and 13-2 wins on their home diamond. Back in Uruguay for game five, the Redbirds prevailed 6-2 to oust Montevideo. Rio de Janeiro earned its third LCS trip in five years, having won the pennant two years prior over Valparaiso. The Voodoo won the 2038 pennant over Fortaleza, but came short in 2040 to the Foxes.

Valparaiso snagged a 5-3 road win to open, but Rio countered 1-0 the next night. At home in Chile, the Voodoo came up with 5-4 and 3-2 wins. The latter went ten innings with an RBI single by Mohammad Ansari-Rad. Rio took game five with a 6-4 score to force the series back to Brazil, then tied it up on a 4-2 win. A balanced effort from the Redbirds lineup pushed them to a 7-2 victory in game seven.

With the win, Rio de Janeiro has won the Southern Cone League crown six times (1970, 2003, 2008, 2016, 2039, 2041). C Jesus Cruz was LCS MVP going 10-25 with three homers, six RBI, and three runs. The 35-year old catcher was in his fourth season with Rio and was a three-time Gold Glove winner.
