Fleet Conference

Kansas City Monarchs (102-60) v New York Black Yankees (88-74)

Best of seven, Monarchs with home-field advantage.

Anyone who doubts the Black Yankees have heart to match all the glamour at the outset of this series cannot possibly feel the same way at its end as they triumph in a truly epic and see-sawing seven-gamer.
No doubt the Mons' lack of post-season experience cost them here but they will certainly be improved by the experience.
A brilliant 3-HR / 10-RBI performance earns New York's Cesar Hernandez MVP honours.

Weldy Conference

Homestead Grays (96-66) v Cleveland Buckeyes (96-66)

Best of seven, Grays with home-field advantage.

Things seem to pivot on Miguel Montero's walkoff 2-run homer to give the Grays a 2-1 win in Game 2 and tie the series at 1, only for the Buckeyes to eventually find their feet and take it out in six tough and well-played games.
The defending Champions can be proud of a valiant title defence but - Montero's strike aside - they just lack Cleveland's polish at key moments and that proves the difference.
Buckeyes star John Beckwith is named MVP.
