In 2031, Zaragoza had the Western Conference’s top seed at 107-55, but missed out on relegation. They took the playoff failure personally and unloaded for a 120-42 record in 2032, the best in European Second League history. The Gold Hawks set league offensive records for batting average (.260), slugging (.456), runs (814), and hits (1454) and had the second-most homers (254). Zaragoza also set conference pitching records for ERA (2.22), runs (411), earned runs (366), K/9 (11.28), strikeouts (1861), and team WHIP (0.947).

Luxembourg’s pitching set E2L records for fewest walks allowed (332) and BB/9 (2.03), helping them to a second place 106-56. The Lancers had only gotten relegated after the 2030 season and were .500 in 2031. Liverpool earned the third place spot at 98-64 for their second playoff trip in three years. It was the Phantoms’ sixth consecutive winning season, but they still were hoping for their first-ever promotion.

The fourth and final playoff spot narrowly went to Brussels at 90-72, fending off Belfast (89-73), Nottingham (86-76), Naples (85-77), and Stuttgart (85-77). The Beavers had just gotten relegated for the second time and were hoping to escape after only one year. Bordeaux and Palermo tied for last at 50-112 with the tiebreaker dooming the Blue Angels and saving the Priests. Bordeaux lasted only one year before getting dropped back to European Tier Three.

Belgrade (100-62) edged out Krakow (98-64) for first in the Eastern Conference. The Bruisers secured a fourth straight playoff trip, hoping to finally get back to the European Baseball Federation’s Elite Tier after five years in E2L. The Canines had come back down after a rough 2030 in the big-time.

A tight fight for the final two spots saw Lviv (90-72) and Gothenburg (89-73) prevail with Vienna (86-76), Bucharest (85-77), and Malta (83-79) as the first teams out. The Lunkers earned a fourth playoff trip in six years, while the Gales earned back-to-back. Both had gotten promoted once before, but had gotten relegated right back down after one season.

Vilnius had the bottom spot at 58-102, just faring worse than Bratislava at 61-101. The Victory had an inappropriate name as they dropped to ET3 for the first time. Vilnius had been in E2L since 2016 with little luck and would’ve been relegated earlier if not for ET3 not existing until 2029.

#4 seed Brussels surprised as the top team in the Western Conference’s Round Robin at 5-1, making an escape after one year. Liverpool and Zaragoza tied at 3-3 and Luxembourg was 1-5. The tiebreaker favored the Phantoms, keeping the Gold Hawks from promotion despite their record 120-win season. With Liverpool’s’ first-ever promotion, that left Stuttgart as the only original E2L to never earn promotion at least once.

The top two advanced from the Eastern Conference Round Robin with Belgrade first at 4-2. Krakow had the tiebreaker over Lviv with both at 3-3, while Gothenburg missed at 2-4. The Bruisers were promoted after a five-year E2L stint, while the Canines returned after two years. That was Belgrade’s only E2L run, while Krakow had brief 2007-08 and 2027 stints.

Liverpool outlasted Brussels 4-3 in the Western Conference Championship, while Krakow upset Belgrade 4-1 in the Eastern Conference Championship. In the Second League Championship, the Canines prevailed 4-2 against the Phantoms.

Other notes: Zaragoza’s Marc David set E2L records for home runs (64) and RBI (146). Liverpool’s Zach Moody had a record 22 triples. Zaragoza’s Santiago Villanueva had the 15^th Perfect Game in E2L with 11 Ks on June 29 against Bordeaux. Stuttgart’s Alexander Hamann won his 7^th Pitcher of the Year. SS Antonios Tsipras won his 7^th Gold Glove.

Advancing out of European Tier Three were Montenegro (98-64) and Athens (95-67), while falling just short were Newcastle (94-68), Ostrava (94-68), Florence (93-69), and Kosovo (90-72). The Anchors escaped ET3 after two years, having spent 2019-30 in E2L and 70+ years in the top tier before that. The Mountain Goats earned a first-time promotion and defeated Athens 4-2 in the ET3 Championship.
