Fresh off their demotion the prior season, London’s European Second League debut saw them dominate the Western Conference standings at 109-53. Edinburgh earned its first-ever playoff berth in second at 97-65. Rome, who also just got relegated in 2007, took third at 95-67.

There was a tie for the final playoff spot between Cardiff and Lyon at 86-76. The Crew won the tiebreaker game to take the spot in their first-ever winning season. Just missing out were Liverpool (85-77) and Hanover (83-79).

In the Eastern Conference, Lviv took first place at 99-63, giving the Lunkers repeat playoff berths. Lodz was second at 96-66, while just demoted Krakow was third at 95-67. It was the first playoff appearance for the Legion. The final playoff spot was Gothenberg at 92-70 for their first playoff berth. The Gales allowed 961 hits and 5.77 H/9, which remain conference records as of 2037.

Skopje was a close fifth at 90-72. Newly demoted Odessa was sixth at 85-77. Varna had finished first in the standings last year, but blew it in the playoffs. They were seventh in 2008 at 84-78. Riga had escaped the Second League in 2006, but was relegated back after the 2007 effort. The Roosters imploded down to 58-104.

The Western Conference Round Robin had Cardiff and Rome both advance to the finals at 4-2. Top seed London was 2-4, as was Edinburgh. In the Eastern Conference, Lodz (4-2) took the top spot. Krakow tied with Gothenburg at 3-3 with the tiebreaker going to the Canines. Top seed Lyiv was 2-4, meaning both first place teams remain in E2L unless five EBF Elite teams suffer demotions.

Rome defeated Cardiff 4-2 and Krakow topped Lodz 4-1 in the conference championships. This sent the Red Wolves and Canines right back up to the top tier after one season relegated. Rome downed Krakow 4-1 for the Second League Championship. If additional promotion/relegation is required, it would be the Legion first in line, followed by the Crew.

Other notes: Two perfect games were thrown in 2008. Lviv’s Liam Gilpin did it with 10 strikeouts against Chisinau on March 28. On September 20, Lyon’s Yannick de Vries fanned 11 against Nantes. In 2006, de Vries had thrown the first E2L perfecto against Reykjavik.

London’s Unai Hermosillo had the first-ever Triple Crown in E2L for London. The 24-year old Spanish 1B won MVP honors with a .322 average, 55 home runs, and 145 RBI.
