Notes -
There is going to be the first ever one game playoff in league history. The Oslo Metros and Copenhagen Armada went into the last day tied and they both won their final game, meaning they will meet in Denmark to decide who advances to meet Prague.
Prague and Sofia played a game on June 30th that was tied at 0 after 8 innings. It was also tied (at 1) after 9. It took 10 innings for the next run to be scored, with the Sting being victorious.
The longest game of the season was a 20 inning 2-1 win for Madrid over Glasgow. Glasgow managed just 5 hits in the marathon game.
Berlin and Hamburg both won 20 games in July to virtually seal their playoff spots.
Dublin scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th on July 30th. Unfortunately for them, Paris had scored 8 in the top half and won 8-4.
Paris started September 12-3 to pull clear of Dublin for the final wildcard.
Sofia played an 18 inning and a 16 inning game on consecutive days.
