2032 RU South Final Recap
It's been quite a while since the Claxton Diamonds have been much of a challenger in the Ruthlandian South... the last division flag came in 2019... the Diamonds have only made the first division three times since then... Claxton hit its way to the pennant to whip runner-up Waleska by 6 games, St. John by 9, Grand City by 10 and defending champ San Dimas by 11 games... the Diamonds led pretty much the entire season and played well done the stretch to hold off all comers.
First place Claxton (85-69) had a productive attack with Dixie Baker at the helm... the Diamonds were in the top 5 in most offensive categories and had fairly good mound work... after seventh-place finishes the last two seasons, the hitters took charge and brought home the pennant... Baker's batting order sported four .300 hitters with good power... pitcher Freddi Hahn (17-13) was the team's only All-Star... Claxton only shortcoming was on defense... the Diamonds has a poor .967 FA.
