But this is, quite simply, the toughest challenge Huntley has ever faced in a Perfect League Series.
The Colorado Lions went 140-22. They scored 1,006 runs and only allowed 399. They had, as I may have mentioned before, a 67-game winning streak this season. Their rotation is headed by Walter Johnson, who led the AC in ERA (1.54), innings (268.2), strikeouts (251), WHIP (0.78), HR/9 (0.2), BABIP (.244), and WAR (11.0). Johnson is followed by Ed Walsh, Curt Schilling, and Pedro Martinez. On offense, second-baseman Honus Wagner (.311/.386/.458, 126 OPS+) led the team in WAR (6.4); Ty Cobb (.294/.377/.473), Wade Boggs (.333/.409/.486), and Joe DiMaggio (.284/.372/.480) also reached or exceeded 5.0 WAR for the season.
Can Huntley pull off its second shocking upset? Or will the Lions claim their throne? It all plays out now in P407...

Someone actually won 67 straight and with an RDiff of "only" 607?! How incredibly lucky can one get?! They might be really good, but that's some super great luck happening there. I wonder what the PT record winning streak is?
Well, it looks like you guys have your work cut out for you. Good luck to the Red Raiders in the series!
