The Roman Gladiators became just the second team in UBL history to win back-to-back Championships, taking out the surprise Caracas Cougars 4 games to 1. The Cameron Akers' run club followed the example of Akers' Stockholm franchise, winning their second title in team history, trailing only Stockholm's 3.  Rome did not leave much doubt in the minds of baseball fans everywhere, taking the first three games and leaving the Cougars, and owner Ritch Beatz, hoping a sweep was not forthcoming.  The Gladiators only lost 2 games en route to the Cup, sweeping Wild Card Paris, and taking 4 of 5 from EHL East Champs London.  Caracas continued its cinderella run from Wild Card to World Cup runner-up by beating WHL Western Champs Alaska 3-1, and WHL Eastern Champs Norfolk 4-2.

               Just as Rome dominated in the postseason, the Gladiators were unstoppable in the regular season, going 120-42, winning the Central crown by 31 games over Stockholm.  While three teams in the Central finished with under 70 wins, the newly renamed Laser Beams had a consistent and strong season, finishing just 1 game behind in the Wild Card standings.  Things were almost as lopsided in the EHL East, as Warsaw started slow, but took possession of first at the start of June from the early surprise Berlin, and finished 17 games up.  The five-year plan Moscow Communists struggled in "year 3," but good things are on the horizon.
               The UBL's sixth season did feature four exciting ends to postseason races in the remaining divisions, leaving few things settled until the last outs were recorded.  In the EHL West, Paris, Barcelona and Edinburgh staged a furious three team race in the first half of the season, with a floundering London club a few steps back in fourth place.  However, between July 6 and August 9, London went 22-6 to pull to within just one game of Paris.  The two clubs put a couple games between themselves and the Mats and Clansmen, see-sawing over one another for much of the last month until finally London found themselves improbable Western Champs.  Paris' season was not for naught, as they were able to beat out Stockholm for the Wild Card by just one game.
               Over in the Western Hemisphere, the best record belonged to the Alaska Kodiaks, who played .667 ball over the second half, going from 48-39 to 98-64 and another Western Title. While Los Angeles again floundered on the bottom of the standings, Seattle struggled to reach .500, but failed thanks to a horrendous record against the division rival Kodiaks, and Mexico City stayed in the division and wild card hunt until a 12-17 start to the second half ended those hopes.  The Caracas Cougars, on the other hand, had a strong second half, surprising most, to leap over the Bulls and eventually into the playoffs as the Wild Card team by just two games.
               The WHL Central Division featured a strong Atlanta Hammers squad that was 10 to 20 games over five hundred for most of the last four months of the season, with little or no competition from their rivals, as Toronto struggled at and below .500, and Chicago faded quickly in the second half.  However a 19-4 stretch in late August by the Detroit Polar Bears vaulted the club over Atlanta into first place for a brief spell, before they ran out of steam and fell back to earth, a full five back.  The race caused some worried looks in Georgia, but nothing like what happened in the WHL East.
               Three teams gave UBL fans all they could handle as far as pennant races go, as Norfolk, Miami and Columbus raced neck and neck for the entire season for first place.  All three teams took a turn atop the standings, constantly switching places, yet never falling more than five games out before closing the distance.  The race hit a peak on September 3rd, when there was a three way tie at 71-61.  Miami had a better start to September than the other two clubs, and looked like they might outlast their rivals, before the dropped nine straight to close out the year, falling from first place to third, just two back.  Columbus gave it everything they had as well, but a Norfolk victory on the penultimate day of the season gave the Dreadnoughts their first ever division title.
