Series MVP: SS Lerrin Ruíz (Stade Maples)

The Stade Maples secured their third championship in franchise history and their second in the last three seasons. With a record of 80-82, Stade appeared completely overmatched heading into the playoffs. Yet they dispatched the St. James Crusaders in five games of the League 2 Series. As the lowest scoring (498 runs) team ever to reach the World Championship Series, few gave them much of a chance against the Brooklyn Knights. The Maples rode their hot streak to four wins in six games, including two shutout wins. Stade's pitching did a tremendous job against Brooklyn. Combined with timely hitting and reliable fielding, they proved more than a match for the Knights.

"When you wear Maples on your shirt, you're good at something." Stade skipper Glen Marchand told the press. Maples shortstop Lerrin Ruiz was named MVP of the series after he went .474 with 1 home run and 5 runs batted in. 'It feels totally incredible " Ruiz said. "I could live to 1,000 years old and I'd remember this moment."
