Battery Point Brandishes Broom; Cowboys Clip Annandale
The Energizer Bunnies rode a 7-0 month, all against the Sanguine Classics, to win their first ever Our League title. The Atom Smashers, who led nearly all season, were denied a second straight flag. Green Lake, entering their last five S287 Our League games with a 2-12 against Annandale, took two from them on the road, and then finished the year with a home sweep by scores of, 8-4, 5-1, and 5-4, coming from behind, 4-1, to win in 10 in the finale. That triumph helped the Cowboys escape the cellar of Our League. The Atom Smashers doomed was already sealed by then. Green Lake fan club president Luke Outnextyear, said the fans were riding a little taller in the saddle, saying, "Our 'boys played with pride. We never quit, and went out in a stampede."
In PT, if I am reading the tea leaves correctly, Sanguine (just barely,by virtue of a 2-1 record against Salem), Green Lake, Ozark, and Terra Incognita will return for 2023. Salem (see above) will slide into bronze. Battery Point and Annandale are both in the PT final eight, but with only six going to silver, I think the Atom Smashers will need to win their series to make the top six. It seems Battery Point might be going up no matter what. I believe it will depend on the playoff success of teams that already trail them in regular season PT wins. If both teams win their series, they will be the first two Our League teams to meet in the PT playoffs. Those games(which will hopefully happen) will be added to their all-time records, since they will be against Our Leaguers.
