Gorillas' Small Measure of Revenge
Gas House kept Philadelphia's romp through the 2035 Our League season from being totally dominant, handing the Patriots their only series loss by taking two of three on the final days of the S370 schedule, and nearly cost Philadelphia a S370 Division title. Forced into a playoff game to rescue the lead they had held for the greater bulk of the S370 slate, the Patriots rode the right arm of Kevin Appier into the playoffs. Appier, slumping after a 19-win season in 2034, salvaged his, and his team's, campaign with a complete-game victory, his 12th.
Philadelphia will be the only team to carry the Our League banner into the S370 post-season. Aceldama slumped at the end to finish two games out, while Port Ruppert, a contender at the start of September, crashed and burned to finish well out of the race. Kakoola was never a factor. Gas House will have the off-season to contemplate how they can improve their Our League showing. Anything close to an even record in Our League would have afforded them an easy path into the S370 playoffs.
