Taylor DeVos, Cape Cod’s home run hitting machine, joined the Hall of Fame with 75% of the vote.

Once again holding the first overall pick, Twin Falls selected Keira Roy out of Centennial High School in Peoria, Arizona. Last year’s no. 1 pick, Matilda Ehrlich, hit .290 in 148 games for Jasper.

Salisbury once again earned the best regular season record as they repeated their 115-35 performance from the 2037 season. Portland went 90-60 to win the West, a 13-win improvement on the previous season and an amazing accomplishment given that they went 36-114 as recently as 2034. Huntington took the Central at 92-58 in what was a quiet year for the division.

The first upset of the playoffs occurred as the 76-74 Seattle Sailors beat the Huntington Forresters in the first round. It was a close fight but Seattle won out 7-6, with a home run from leftfielder Diane Cote in the top of the 9th serving as the deciding run. The came close to an upset over Beaver in the following round, taking a 4-run lead into the bottom of the 9th of game 3. However, Sally Laughton’s control was not something to be desired and Seattle fans could only watch in horror as their team lost 12-11. The rest of the playoff matchups followed the expected course, with Salisbury facing Beaver and Asheville playing Saskatoon in the semis. Beaver gave Salisbury a scare but the defending champions won the series in five as Asheville swept Saskatoon. Salisbury then proceeded to retain the title with a 4-0 sweep of the Wolves.

Keesha DeWilliams was back on top of the batting averages as she hit a league=best .397. However, the big star was Seattle’s Akemi Hao, who hit 59 home runs and 145 RBIs to take those titles. Asheville’s Meg Sinatra, with her 22 wins and 311 strikeouts, was denied a triple crown by a phenomenal pitching season by Beaver’s Keegan Yearick, who threw 2.14 (as opposed to Sinatra’s 3rd-best 2.40).

Odessa’s Alex Gonzalez won Rookie of the Year with a .319 average and 39 home runs. Sinatra’s performance, while not triple crown winning, was good enough for the Madeeha Baqri Award while Akemi Hao’s performance was good enough for an MVP award.
