2019 in A2L



2019 was the second year of the African Second League. After taking second in the Southern Conference in the inaugural season, Mauritius took first at 89-73. They switched spots with Maseru, who was one back in second at 88-74. It was a competitive field with Gaborone (85-77), Windhoek (83-79), and Bulawayo (82-80) all right in the mix.



Defending A2L champ Bangui repeated as Central Conference champs, dominating at 101-61. They were 14 games better than second place Bukavu and 15 ahead of both Djibouti and Mwanza.



Mauritius denied Bangui’s repeat bid, winning the second African Second League Championship 5-4. Both teams hoped this early success would carry on and allow them to be promoted once the promotion/relegation with the African Association of Baseball officially began in 2022.



Other notes: Asmara’s Kent Neal had the first A2L no-hitter against Mombasa on July 27. With the incredibly inflated offense and low strikeouts of A2L, no-hitters and shutouts would be incredibly rare.
