2022 Finals and Championship

The Cowboys and the Roos faced off in one series, and the Metros and Cavalry in the other. This was the Metros and Roos first trips to the post-season.

The Cowboys stretched the Roos to 5 games, but Newcastle won Game 5 convincingly at home 7-zip. The Cowboys struggled offensively all series.

The Cavalry also struggled to drive runners home, going down to the Metros in 4 games. Metros 1B Joel Grimes went .588/.611/1.176 for the series, slugging 3 HR and driving in 8. For the Calvary, Warwick hit .529, but they all came in singles.

Championship

In a series that eclipsed the 2021 Championship for excitement and drama, the Metros jumped out to 3-0 lead, with 2 games at home to wrap the series up. However, the Roos had other ideas, winning the next 2, then thundering to the finish line at home to take the series 4-3. They scored 20-5 in the last 2 games.

Slugger of the Series went to Roos Catcher Jayden Limeburner. The 26 year-old (2021 Rookie of the Year), who came across from the Fury in a mid-year trade, hit .321/.387/.643 with 3HR and 8RBI.

Joel Grimes, on the other hand, went from hot to freezing, hitting only .111 across the series.

Hurler of the Series went to Foreman, 2-1 across 3 starts in the 7 games. In the pivotal Game 7, he threw 7 shutout innings, allowing only 5 hits and walking none. He threw 21 innings in the Championship, allowing only 17 hits and striking out 20.
