Gold league final OL standings:
In a crazy finish, Harlem made the most of their OL league games, sweeping 6 games in the final week against Cooper (part of a 10 game winning streak) to overtake Annandale and secure their first Gold league OL title (and third title overall).
For the overall picture, 6 OL teams made the post season, and we are guaranteed to have at least on OL team achieving promotion to Diamond level, as Annandale will face either Shasta or Transylvania in the LDS, so the winner of that round will be heading to Diamond next year.
In the AC East, Waffletown made a push to try and catch Pike County for the division title, but it wasn't to be; and the Syrups fell 3 games short. Waffletown still secured the top spot in the wild card and will host Indianapolis.
AC Central: Harlem went on a tear in September (21-7) and ran away with the division by 14 games over the second place team. They secured the best record in either league and will have home field advantage throughout the post season. Cooper fell back to third place with a 77-85 record and will remain at Gold level next season. Harlem will face the winner of the Waffletown-Indianapolis wild card game.
NC Central: Palolo held off a charge from Shasta to secure the division title; but all is not lost for the Black Bears, as Shasta was able to nab the second wild card spot. Shasta will travel to Transylvania for the wild card game.
NC West: As the case in the NC Central, in the West, Annandale had to fend off a charge from Transylvania to finish 2 games up on the Impalers. Annandale will face the winner of the Transylvania-Shasta wild card game. At the other end of the division, CliffMarkle struggled down the stretch (10-17 in September) and fell to 29th position in the league, one game behind the 28th spot; so CliffMarkle will be relegated back to Silver next season.
