The YakAnglers were cruising right along with a 7+ game lead in the division, and then September came along and the wheels started coming off. Overnight the team couldn't hit or pitch, and everyone was cold. We acquired FOTF Biggio to replace Cano, and that stopped the bleeding with a two game winning streak, then we went back to our losing ways, including a 25-1 thumping and another 12-1 loss. Eventually we found ourselves one game back in the division but somehow managed to squeak out the divison, only because the other team lost a little more than we did the last week, and we ended with a 3 game losing streak.
So on to the playoffs! The YakAnglers take the DS 3-1 and sweep the Sub series. In the WS we take a 4 run lead into the 9th in game 1 just for Saito to blow his first save in 27 chances. Not looking good at that point, and before we know it we're down 3 games to 1. HA! We've all seen this movie. And the YakAnglers shut 'em out the next two games to force game 7 where we prevail 8-4 to take home their first championship!
