The Frogs enter the Wild Card game against a Mets team that, like us, played above its run differential in the league. We finished 14 wins above expectation and they finished 13 games above, the two highest totals in the league. We beat them in 10 out of our 19 games.

This one’s all us as we score two in the first and hold a tight lead before scoring 10 in the 6^th and 7^th to win, 13-1. Adrian Gonzalez drives in five, and we’re on to the Division Series to face the best team in our league.

We lost five of six to the Central Mass Smash this year and they enter the series on a 13-game winning streak. But we go to their place and take Game 1 in 11 innings 3-2 thanks to a home run by Dave Winfield, who we acquired thanks to the Padres mission right at the end of the year. Greg Maddux shuts us down in a 2-1 Game 2 loss, but we’re hanging with these guys. Their bullpen closes the door on us over three innings and they take Game 3, 3-2. Game 4 is tied 4-4 in the 8^th until we get two in that inning. Jeff Russell closes it out and we’re on to Game 5 after a 6-4 win.

We hang tight in the final game and it’s 2-1 Central Mass in the 8th. We put the first two men on, but that’s the last time we get any baserunners, as we fail to take advantage in that inning and go down 1-2-3 in the 9^th to fall in the series.
