With the IBAF Baseball World Cup getting most of our attention, we now take a look back at the decisions in some of the European Softball Leagues.
While the Royal Greys missed the Belgian Series of the baseball competition, their softball team made it into the championship series in softball and captured the national title with a three-game sweep over the Brasschaat Braves. They out-scored the Braves 17-1 in the series. During the regular season the Heist o/d Berg Afterburners had finished in first place with a 22-2 record, followed by the Greys and Braves. But in the top-four round the two Belgian Series participants edged out the Afterburners with seven wins in twelve games.
