TORONTO CLINCHES DIVISION
The Toronto Maple Leafs have won the Continental League of Professional Baseball Clubs' Eastern Division title, earning them a birth in the league's first ever title game.
They clinched the division with their win over the Atlanta Pilots last night.
The league's owner of the best offense and best pitching staff, the Maple Leafs are sure to be the favorite in the Continental Cup versus whichever team represents the Western Division.
Only one week remains in regular season play before the Continental Cup.
