The finalists at the AAA- and AA-levels of British baseball have now been decided, while the National Baseball League semi-finals are under way, after a short rain delay.
Tomorrow’s AAA-final will be between the Oxford Kings and the Herts Falcons. The Falcons cruised through their semi-final against the Humber Pilots, eventually triumphing 20-1. The match between the Kings and the London Metros was closer, but Oxford were still comfortable victors in the end, with a 13-6 final score.
And in the AA-final it will be the Bournemouth Sharks and the Sidewinders who will battle it out for the crown on Sunday. Like the Falcons, the Sidewinders won handsomely, beating the Manchester A’s by a score of 19-2, but the Sharks were made to fight much harder for their place in the final, pipping the Birmingham Maple Leafs 11-9 in what was the game of the tournament so far.
