London Metros booked their place in the 2022 BBF AAA National Championships Final with a dramatic win over their cross-city rivals Richmond Knights, 8-4. Fantastic pitching, sparkling defensive plays and contentious decisions added drama to an exciting game.

On the final day of the 2022 regular season, Dukes needed to sweep the division winners and hope other results went their way to reach the playoffs. An enthralling day of baseball unfolded with spectacular plays and late inning drama.

Dukes kept up the pressure on the teams above them in the BBF Single A playoff race by beating Herts Raptors in both games of their doubleheader this past Sunday in Richmond.

It was a record-breaking day of many “firsts” for Richmond as they comfortably eased past Raptors, outmatching their opponents in every department.

Herts Hawks battled the unbearable hot weather and outlasted Richmond Dukes to win both games of their doubleheader. Amber heat warnings by the Met Office were in place and, despite the 9am first pitch, the temperature was blisteringly hot and rising. Both teams suffered through the difficult conditions and bravely competed to put on an excellent display of baseball.

Herts Londoners extended their lead atop of the BBF Single A South Central-A division with two wins over Richmond Dukes, but it was far from easy for the home side. Dukes narrowly lost game one in an extra-inning walk-off, having been one strike away from winning it in regular innings.

Bracknell Inferno defeated Richmond Dukes 23-4 and 17-2 in an inter-divisional double header this past weekend. Sensational rookie debut from Bracknell’s Eurimel Pujols stole the show.

Richmond Dukes hosted Formosa Islanders for a double header in the British Baseball Federation Single A South Central-B division. It was the return match up from the previous week, which had served up a dazzling display of baseball. These two foes didn’t fail to deliver again, exceeding expectations and putting on another classic contest for the ages.

A showcase event for British baseball. Solid pitching, sturdy defence, and quality hitting, culminating in a dramatic late inning comeback by Richmond Dukes, only for Formosa Islanders to walk-off victorious in the Single A South Central-B division.
