Baseball at the 1999 & 2003 All-Africa Games

In 1999 Nigeria won the silver medal by defeating every other national team except South Africa, to whom they lost in the final. In order, Nigeria won against Lesotho (14-3), Zimbabwe (12-11), Uganda (27-1) and Ghana (14-5) until a blowout loss to South Africa (1-19) in the championship game. Nigeria was again a dominant power in the 2003 Games held in Abuja, cruising to the final where they lost to South Africa 0-15 to earn the silver medal again. Baseball is scheduled to make a return to the All-Africa Games in Mozambique in 2011.
