Post-Far East crack at rating the Pacific’s baseball, softball and track teams.

Baseball1, American School In Japan. An improbable Far East Division I championship against an unlikely foe in Kubasaki.2, Yokota, Japan. Won the Division II title the hard way; got masterful performance from Jack Malone in second of two final games.3, Kadena, Okinawa. Semifinal defeat doesn’t detract from an excellent body of work.4, Zama American, Japan. Keiyl Sasano, Trojans pushed Panthers to the limit.5, Kubasaki, Okinawa. Nobody saw Alex Eisenberg and the Dragons coming.

Softball1, Kadena, Okinawa. As emphatic a Division I title-game victory as you’d ever see.2, Kubasaki, Okinawa. 19-3 title-game loss doesn’t detract from vast improvements this season.3, Yokota, Japan. Kaia Austin and the Panthers came up aces, helped Yokota to the second of four D-II titles in all sports.4, Zama American, Japan. Another Trojans team that pushed the Panthers hard in the finals.5, Seoul American. Did well with their retooled pitching staff.

Track and field1, Nile C. Kinnick, Japan. Very deep Red Devils team edged out Mustangs for overall D-I honors.2, American School In Japan. Very creditable, respectable showing by last year’s overall champs.3, Kadena, Okinawa. Flashed some serious speed at Yokota’s Bonk Field.4, Seoul American. Passed Kubasaki with a likewise fourth-place finish at Far East.5, Kubasaki, Okinawa. Did their part in a meet that saw five Pacific, 12 meet records fall.
