2036

The year began with the first ever inductions to the WBLA Hall of Fame. Pitchers Jay Bell and Brienne Hedges both retired in 2030 and were elected on their 2nd ballot appearance.

With the first pick of the draft, Twin Falls chose starting pitcher Jen Hendrickson out of South Alabama. Hendrickson, the daughter of recently retired WBLA veteran Kerry Hendrickson, went 10-2 in her junior year with a 1.80 ERA for the Jaguars and is know best for her splitter. Austin Jerome, the 2035 no. 1 draft pick, played 54 games for Anchorage as their closer. She went 4-6 with a 3.60 ERA and 22 saves.

Salisbury dominated in the East, going 113-37. While all eight teams from the East once again went through, the other teams in the league were starting to catch up. Saskatoon won out in a tight battle with Beaver for the Central, winning the division by two game at 102-48. Meanwhile Vancouver won the West with a 67-84 record after a tie-break game with Bakersfield.

After easy playoff runs, Salisbury met Asheville in the finals. In something of a shock, Ashville, who had entered the playoffs as the third seed, won in 5. They dropped the first game of the series before taking the next four. It was a disappointing end to a strong season for Salisbury but in the end, they simply couldn’t hold back the dynasty that was Asheville. Asheville retained the title, finally getting their club silverware after so many seasons of falling short.

Kel Franco took the batting title as Keesha DeWilliams dropped to third. Franco hit .389. Ronda Olague led in home runs with 56 while Louisa Garcia hit 165 RBIs. On the mound, Glenda Latimer dominated with a 1.73 ERA while Asheville’s Meg Sinatra broke out for 23 wins and 266 Ks. While not taking any statistical categories, Keegan Yearick, the 2033 no. 1 draft pick, recorded a perfect game on July 17th for Beaver against Jasper.

Vancouver’s Tonii Kelly won Rookie of the Year as she hit .303 with 36 home runs. Meanwhile, Glenda Latimer won her second Madeeha Baqri Award while Louisa Garcia was named MVP for the 4th time.

The biggest retirement of the offseason was Lenora Pena, the two-time Madeeha Baqri Award winner. Pena went 70-35 with a 2.90 ERA in 248 WBLA games and was often described as the life and soul of the Charlotte clubhouse.
