2042

Closer Robin Kerley joined the Hall of Fame. Kerley played from 2019-33 and had a career ERA of 2.95 with 199 saves.

With the first pick of the draft, Twin Falls took starting pitcher Charisma Brown from Brandon High School in Brandon, Florida. Brown had an unbelievable senior, pitching 108 innings in 14 starts and maintaining an average of 0.33. Their first pick last year, Hunter Vowels, failed to sign with the team.

Salisbury took the East with ease, winning 108 games as they looked to bounce back from their stinging playoff defeat last year. They were joined in the playoffs by fellow East teams Bristol, New York and Richmond. Defending champions Hamilton earned a chance to go back-to-back after going 95-55 to win the Central. However it was a close race and Odessa earned a playoff place with 93 wins. Bakersfield won the West thanks to a late surge, going 87-63. Seattle also made the playoffs as the 8th seed with 82 wins.

The most notable event of the first round was Odessa taking down Hamilton in the tight Central Division match up. Despite the Vibes taking game one, the Panthers rallied and took games two and three to progress. Salisbury and New York both earned sweeps while Bristol held off Bakersfield in three. Salisbury made short work of Odessa, sweeping them in three games. Bristol beat New York in four games to set up a Salisbury-Bristol final. The final series went the distance and game seven seemed to be in the bag going into the sixth until Bristol starter Joey Van Fleet gave up six runs to give Salisbury an 8-3 lead. While Bristol got two back, Salisbury’s late-innings pitching was just too good and Salisbury’s took back their title.

Elena Cortez retained her batting title with a new single-season record of .474. She also hit 40 home runs and 110 RBIs. However, it was Seattle’s Akemi Hao who took home the home run title with 50 and Jasper’s Mary Blanchard lead in RBIs with 167. Blanchard’s teammate, Dana Bowers, took home the ERA title with a 2.26 ERA. Meanwhile, in a somewhat down year for pitching, 2037 Triple Crown winner Fi Lemay lead the league with 18 wins in 30 starts. Sophie Thieman retained the strikeout title, improving on her 2041 total to record 300 Ks.

Tina Rozenboom of Provo earned Rookie of the Year, hitting .304 and 24 home runs. Salisbury’s Miu Tsuchida won the Madeeha Baqri award for a 13-3, 2.46 ERA season. Odessa’s Marcia Colon took home the MVP award after a .406, 48 home run season.

Pitcher Ada Thibodaux retired at the end of the season. The 2035 Madeeha Baqri Award winner pitched 1220 innings over an eight-season career, earning a record of 105-37 with a 2.79 ERA.
