In 2012, many of last season’s top teams continued to have success. The Knights, Firecats, and Slam all repeated as division champions. The Stade Maples were unable to duplicate that feat, however. After four consecutive seasons finishing second to the Maples, the Corals finally took the division. This was Key West’s first division crown since 2000, NALB’s inaugural season.

The League Series match-ups:
Nashville Firecats (93-69) vs. Brooklyn Knights (111-51)
Richmond Slam (92-70) vs. Key West Corals (97-65)

Playoff injury report:
The Firecats will be without one of their stars, CF Cipriano Delgudo. Thankfully for Nashville, CF Jim Stoneman returned from the disabled list in time to make the playoff roster. The Knights had a relatively injury free season. Nearing the season’s end, Brooklyn looked to be near full strength with only MR Rigo Hurtado on the DL. Unfortunately, the last week of the season brought injuries to MR Francisco Jimenez and RF Gilberto Guerra. They will miss the playoffs. The Slam will compete without two key players, RF Carlos Tejera and MR Gil Cather. The Corals will be without three players for their playoff run: RF Gregory Carter, 2B Dick Andrews, and 2B Carlos Galicia.
