London Mets and Richmond Flames complete an all-southern cast for tomorrow’s finals

Tomorrow’s National Baseball League final will be between the London Mets and the Richmond Flames. The Mets eased past the Menwith Hill Patriots 15-1, while the Flames defeated the Manchester Eagles 10-3. This will be the 10th straight National Baseball League final contested by two teams from the South-East of England. Game one of the best-of-three final should have been played this afternoon, but rain delays have pushed that back to tomorrow.
This completes an all-southern cast in the finals being contested tomorrow in the top three tiers of the British game. Of the six teams to lose in the semi-finals, four were from the north, one from the Midlands, and just one from the South (the London Metros).

No surprise the Mets got through, although it’s a shame one of the Northern teams didn’t make it to the final. The question now is whether the Flames will do to the Mets what the Mets did to the Pirates last year?
Hopefully the weather will be okay in Croydon tomorrow and everyone will be able to enjoy a great day of baseball.
