The last day of the season saw Anu looking to capture the UL's first Triple Crown and El Paso and Columbus deadlocked for the division lead of the UL Northwest.
In an early game, Vishnu and his Columbus teammates held off a late-surging Gadsden team for a 9-8 win, putting the pressure on El Paso to win their late game against Pittsburgh. El Paso couldn't live up to that pressure, however, as they get steamrolled by Pittsburgh, 13-3. So, Columbus wins the UL Northwest Pennant and will match-up with Little Rock in the first round, while El Paso will face off against Lewiston.
Irish deity Anu held a .006 BA lead over Vishnu, a 2 HR lead over Hunab Ku and a 7 RBI lead over Vishnu heading into the final game of the season. Anu's 3 for 4 performance in El Paso's 13-3 loss to Pittsburgh was enough to hold off Vishnu and Hunab Ku to win the Triple Crown! Anu ends the season with a .522 / 95 HR / 229 RBI, wins the Triple Crown and sets a new Hitting Streak record of 62 games. We'll see if he can continue his breakout year through the playoffs.
Jesus Christ (Memphis) had a great last day of the regular season as he hits a single, 2 doubles and 2 home runs, including a walk-off HR in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Memphis the win and a nice bump of momentum heading into the playoffs. On the day, Christ scored 4 runs and drove in 5.
The schedule for the first round of the playoffs is as follows (home team listed 2nd):
Houston (A Thetan) at Charlotte (Abraham)
Hartford (Bondje - DL) at Memphis (Jesus Christ)
Little Rock (Zeus) at Columbus (Vishnu)
Lewiston (Altjira) at El Paso (Anu)
