A lackluster season mercifully came to an end on a positive note with a 5-1 victory over division rival Waxsaw. The win was important for more than just the positive vibe to end the season, as it pulled Waffletown 1 game ahead of league rival Kiner's Korner and placed the Syrups in 28th place in the overall standings... one game safe from relegation.

Team records:

fun thing about piling up more and more seasons is it will hopefully get more difficult to break team records in batting/pitching/fielding. This season, only 2 categories saw new records for team batting: walks (553), and stolen bases (91). The team also set a dubious record of most losses in a season with 89

Pitching records were even more difficult to come by, as only one was set this season: a new low for home runs allowed (117)

Like the batting category, for team fielding there were two new records: total assists (1760) and the first triple play in team history (1)


Individual performances:

-Johnny Pesky managed to hold off a challenge by teammate Cecil Travis to secure his second consecutive batting title with a .324 average.

-Cecil Travis has one of his best seasons yet in Waffletown, smacking 204 hits, 47 doubles, 4 triples, 8 home runs, a team best 97 RBIs and a .315 average.

-while none of the starting staff really stood out this season, from the bullpen, Paul Dean had another solid season which made management believe even more that they made the right decision in picking him up and using him in his current role. He matched his rookie season mark of strikeouts with 121, and finished the year with a solid 5-2 record with 1 save and a K/9 mark of 13.4


edit: Johnny Pesky rounds out his outstanding season by taking home the Silver Slugger award at SS
