In the B2 League, it was tight at the top with Mariners Baseball Vikings (10-3) one game ahead of Red Rox Baseball (8-3) thanks to victories at home to Dublin Spartans B (12-5); at Ashbourne Stags (18-3) and two walkover wins at Cork Cosmos 1. These wins however, were sandwiched between losses to Belfast NorthStars (11-15 on 3 July) and 9-12 at Ashbourne Giants B (on 31 July). Red Rox remained their nearest challenger for the B2 pennant with a walkover win versus Cork Cosmos and a huge 34-11 defeat of Belfast Buccaneers. Ashbourne Stags (7-6) and Dublin Hurricanes B (6-5) remained in the playoff picture as the Stags followed losses to Ashbourne Titans (13-14) and Mariners Vikings (3-18) with walkover victories against Dublin Spartans B and Cork Cosmos. Dublin Hurricanes B meanwhile, defeated Belfast Buccaneers 17-14 and then lost to Mariners B 7-12. Belfast Buccaneers improved to 5-7 with a 10-8 victory over Mariners B followed by losses to Hurricanes B and Red Rox and then a shock 21-12 over Comets. Dublin Spartans B were still looking for a first victory as the Clondalkin-based team lost to Comets and Mariners Vikings before conceding to the Ashbourne Stags. They were not at the foot of the table however, after Cork Cosmos 1 disbanded and pulled out of the league.

At the end of July the leading playoff contenders were Belfast NorthStars (12-1) and Mariners Baseball B (9-2) in the B1 League and Mariners Vikings (10-3) and Red Rox Baseball (8-3) in the B2 League. Still in with a shot were Ashbourne Titans (8-4) and Comets (6-4) in the B1 League and Ashbourne Stags (7-6) and Dublin Hurricanes B (6-5) in the B2 League. [References: Results and Standings 1]

Weeks 19-22 (August 2022)

In a very close B1 League Pennant race, Belfast NorthStars extended their winning streak to nine games before the last weekend in August with a 15-0 victory over northern rivals Belfast Buccaneers. The NorthStars stood at 13-1, while in second place the 11-2 Mariners B had a 13-12 win at Red Rox and benefitted from a walkover versus Cork Cosmos. Ashbourne Titans, like Mariners B extended their winning streak to four games with triumphs over Dublin Spartans B (15-0) and Vikings (12-2) to stand on 10-4. Half a game behind the Titans on 9-4 and with a three-game winning streak were Comets who had a good month, defeating Dublin Hurricanes B 18-5, Vikings 13-11 and Red Rox 11-9. Ashbourne Giants B, already out of the running picked up a walkover at Cork Cosmos. [References: Results and Standings 1]

The B2 League race was a three-team affair with Mariners Vikings leading the way on 11-5, Red Rox in second on 9-5 and Ashbourne Stags on 9-6 in third, although Belfast Buccaneers were putting together a push for the playoffs on 8-8 after a three-game winning streak. Dublin Hurricanes B had perhaps too much left to do on 6-8 and Dublin Spartans B were already eliminated from playoff contention on 2-12. Buccaneers had won twice over Dublin Spartans B (18-4 and 13-12 in a double-header in Belfast) after losing to Belfast NorthStars and then had a walkover versus Cork Cosmos 1 to break even on the year. Ashbourne Stags likewise put up a three-game winning streak also with a walkover versus Cork Cosmos 1. Leading the way in the B2 League, however, were Red Rox who suffered close losses to B1 League challengers Mariners B and Comets before a walkover against Cosmos 1; and the B2 Leaders themselves the Vikings who lost to Comets and Titans of the B1 League. [References: Results and Standings 1]

Weeks 23-26 (September 2022)

In the B1 League Belfast Northstars finished the season with a 17-5 victory over Ashbourne Titans before losing their final game 14-6 to Mariners B who had also defeated Comets 22-0 and Ashbourne Giants B 28-8 to reach the playoffs on 16-2 record alongside NorthStars with Mariners B taking the B1 League Pennant. Ashbourne Titans finished off the season with a walkover victory against Cork Cosmos as the Co. Meath team finished 11-7. Comets Baseball finished 10-7 with a walkover win against Cork Cosmos as their game with Ashbourne Giants B was canceled. Giants B finished 5-12 and were relegated to the B2 League for 2023 as were Cork Cosmos who finished the season on 2-6 with 10 forfeits and also suspended. [References: Results and Standings 1]

B2 League Pennant winners were Red Rox who finished 13-5 with strong wins over Dublin Hurricanes B (25-8) and Ashbourne Stags (22-5) both on the road. Also joining them in the playoffs were Vikings who defeated Belfast Buccaneers 18-14 to finish on 12-6. Just missing out on the playoffs were Ashbourne Stags who finished 10-8 with a 13-12 victory over Belfast Buccaneers before their loss to Red Rox. Dublin Hurricanes B and Belfast Buccaneers both finished 8-10, Hurricanes B gaining a walkover victory against Cork Cosmos 1. Dublin Spartans B finished 3-13 plus two forfeits and Cork Cosmos 1 finished with one win and eight losses as well as nine forfeits. [References: Results and Standings 1]

Semi-Finals (2-8 October 2022)

B2 League Pennant winners Red Rox (13-5) pulled off a minor miracle in defeating B1 League runners-up (16-2) Belfast NorthStars 2-1 in the Best of three Semi-Finals. After winning the first game 12-10 Red Rox then lost the second game in Belfast 12-2 before taking the third game the following weekend 17-14 in Portmarnock.

In the second semi-final, the two Mariners teams, Mariners B (16-2, B1 League Pennant winners) had to fight all the way to beat Mariners Vikings (12-6, B2 League runners-up) in three games, winning the first game 16-4, before dropping game 2 17-18 and then the following weekend defeating the Vikings 14-3. All three games took place in Shanganagh Park, Shankill. [Reference: S-2]

B League Final (15-16 October 2022)

In the B League Final Red Rox hit form at the right time, defeating Mariners B 19-4 at Shanganagh Park, Shankill on Dublin’s Southside, before winning game two the following day 10-3 at home in Portmarnock, sweeping the series 2-0. [Reference: S-2]

About Comets Baseball

Comets Baseball moved to Peace Link Park in Clones, Co. Monaghan shortly before the 2016 season started, thus requiring the team name to be changed from Cavan Comets to simply Comets Baseball. In their first season in Monaghan they went 4-18, finishing fourth of four teams in the B League North Division, thereafter steadily improving, going 5-13 in 2017, finishing 6th out of 7 in the B League North. A slight drop in form in 2018 ( 3-15, sixth of 7 teams), was followed by a 5-14 season in 2019 (finishing fourth of four in the B-2 League) and then a 4-5 season in the 2020 B League North Division, finishing 3rd of four teams. 2022 was a huge inprovement for the team, going 8-3 in the B League Upper, finishing second of five teams, and reaching the B Playoff Final, before losing 7-9 to Mariners Baseball B team.

Report

There was an expanded Baseball Ireland B League in 2014, featuring B teams of all five returning A League teams (Dublin teams the City Hurricanes, Spartans and Black Sox as well as the Greystones Mariners and Belfast North Stars), as well as the B team of new team the Dublin Tigers, representing a Venezuelan company in Ireland, and regional teams the West Clare Dolphins, Cavan Comets and Ashbourne Giants. Dublin City Hurricanes B won the League Pennant and Championship, defeating Belfast North Stars B 13-1 and 14-1 in the best-of-three games Final Series. Cavan Comets reached the Semi-Finals after knocking out Ashbourne Giants, both teams best season yet, knocking out Greystones Mariners B and Dublin Black Sox B respectively in the Playoffs First Round. Cormac Eklof pitched superbly for the Hurricanes in Game 1 of the Final and Jose Martinez in Game 2 in what was a one-sided Final Series.

About Baseball and Baseball Ireland

Baseball is a bat-and ball game where players aim to hit a ball thrown at them by a pitcher and run around four bases back home without being caught or run out. A run is scored when a player gets back to home base. It is similar to the GAA game of Rounders, but the bases are 90 feet apart rather than 60 and pitching can be overarm. There are 9 Innings for each team in a standard Baseball game (seven in the case of thw Baseball Ireland B-League) and when three players on a team are out that is the end of the innings for the team. A teams innings is not over until three outs are made. It was first played in America, but is thought to have an ancestor in the Irish and British game of Rounders (and also similar games in Germany and Scandinavia such as Branboll). In Ireland it is Coed (Mixed).

About Baseball

Baseball is a bat-and ball game where players aim to hit a ball thrown at them by a pitcher and run around four bases back home without being caught or run out. A run is scored when a player gets back to home base. It is similar to the GAA game of Rounders, but the bases are 90 feet apart rather than 60 and pitching can be overarm. There are 9 Innings for each team in a standard Baseball game (seven in the case of thw Baseball Ireland B-League) and when three players on a team are out that is the end of the innings for the team. A teams innings is not over until three outs are made. It was first played in America, but is thought to have an ancestor in the Irish and British game of Rounders (and also similar games in Germany and Scandinavia such as Branboll). In Ireland it is Coed (Mixed).

Report

The Dublin Black Sox B saw off the challenge of the Greystones Mariners B to win the Baseball Ireland B League Trophy in 2011. In the third game of the the three-game Final Series, they trailed all the way until tying it up in the bottom of the sixth innings to make it 9-9. At the Bottom of the seventh innings, the Black Sox batting order was back to the top, and Jose Gomez was struck on the ankle with a pitch, putting him on first base. Raul Vazquez hit a line drive past the short stop to put Gomez on second base, then after fouling a picth left and then right, Brian Connolly smashed a line drive between left and centre fielders to allow Gomez sprint towards third, and then with the ball still in the outfield third base coach Kevin Dillon sent Gomez home where his slide beat the thrower for the winning run. [Reference: 4]

The Black Sox B had defeated the Dublin City Hurricanes B in the Playoffs while the Greystones Mariners B had to defeat both the Dublin Spartans B ans Hurricanes B to reach the Final. The Regular Season was a close battle between all four teams, with the Hurricanes B winning the League Pennant on 11-4, and Black Sox B (11-4), SpartansB (10-5) and Mariners B (9-6) following just behind. The other two teams in the B League, Cavan Comets (3-12) and West Clare Dolphins (1-14) finished well off the pace. [Reference: 2-3]
