The Sheepdogs continued to dominate the Finger Lakes League during the second half of the season, and became the first regular season champion to capture the Seneca Falls Series when they defeated Waterloo in a dramatic seven-game thriller.

If not for his injury, Williams would have easily won the Outstanding Pitcher Award, and Hill could have claimed the Outstanding Hitter prize, too. Robinson and Ward gave the Dogs the league's best double play combo. Hopkins, the league's Rookie of the Year, joined a crackerjack staff that also got 19 wins out of Tom Harvey and 18 more from Jordan Coleman.

Harvey won another Gold Glove, and so did Felix Roman, who played third base like he invented the position.

Most of the Sheepdogs' best players are in their late twenties and early thirties, so this excellent team should be near its peak. Enjoy it while you can.
Wa hoo! Go Sheepdogs! Hopefully it's the first of many for them. Hill is a stud, he was robbed of the MOB, but that's alright as he's taking home the championship trophy. Is he the career leader in SB? Is he also a good defensive CF?
