Playoff Update #2 :

The Claymores and Akira move on!




Imperial League Wild Card Series - Elimination Game
Arlington 3, Scotland 6

Ogawa, Ogawa, Ogawa!

Claymores starter Soichiro Ogawa continues the season of his life with the clutch GAME of his life, as he struck out 7 in a solid 7+ inning performance to power his Claymores to the Division Series!

Ogawa's career up until this season has been shaky and difficult in the big show : the pudgy, hard-throwing Japanese right-hander had only put up a 7-23 record and a horrid 5.71 ERA over his first 4 major league seasons with the Claymores, but he came alive in 2028, finishing the season 18-7 (thus nearly tripling his career win total), along with a 4.10 ERA and 123 K's!

Arlington, meanwhile, did all they could to keep up but eventually fell short. However, several players shone in the series, such as mid-season acquisition Sean Peters, an outfielder, who batted an impressive .421 in the Wild Card Series! Despite the defeat, Arlington will be retaining most of their players for the 2029 season and could end up being a force again.

Sovereign League Wild Card Series - Elimination Game
Bakersfield 4, Neo-Tokyo 5

Neo-Tokyo's veterans came through, with of course some help from their youth movement at crunch time, to edge out the Bakersfield Bears 5-4 in a thrilling final game!

The game leaned back and forth in the early innings until the bottom of the 4th, when, trailing 4-3, veteran Akira players Ramiro Reynoso and B.J. Gassaway scored, having been pushed along by a string of hits from a series of youngsters to get them around the bases. The team was then able to hold the 5-4 lead the rest of the game.

On Bakersfield's side, starter and 19-game-winner Neil Maes had a moderate start, allowing 9 hits, 5 earned runs and striking out 5, but it proved to be just short of a win. The Bears, which only managed 6 hits all game, once again had trouble getting the bats moving. But, with new management thanks to GM Dan Vail, things are looking up and the team will no doubt be a dangerous one in 2029, as they will look to beef up the offense to pair it up with their lethal pitching staff. Keep an eye on this team next year!
