Not a worst-to-championship story, but close: second worst-to-championship.
In the Pioneer League 2018 season, the Great Falls Voyagers won the league championship while having the second worst overall record in the league at 34-41 .453. Only the Orem Owlz were worse, at 22-54 .289.
Great Falls won the North Division in the first half with a 22-16 record. But the club faltered badly in the second half, going 12-25. But since it won the first half division title, it got into the post-season. In the first round it dispatched Billings 2 games to 0, then went on to defeat Grand Junction in the finals 2 games to 0.
