Silver league finals standings:
Annandale cruises through the season to their second OL crown, and also nab the top seed in the AC for the playoffs.
Overall, Boulder City and Algoma both struggled down the final stretch and dropped out of the post season push, but still remained clear of relegation. Waffletown made a solid run in September and once again found themselves in a tie for the final wild card spot, so game 163 was needed to determine who got the final spot.
The Syrups faced off against the Montreal Voyageurs for the 7th time this season and had the task of going up against Cy Young in the win or go home final game. Thankfully for Waffletown, their own starter Mark Langston was up to the task (with the bullpen assistance of Tommy Bridges and Trevor Hoffman) as the Syrups claimed a 5-2 win to nab the final post season ticket.
Waffletown will face off against division nemesis Kenner in the wild card game (Kenner won the season series 13-6; though a glimmer of hope for Waffletown is the fact they went 6-3 against the Saints in the final 9 games).
Annadale will await the WC winner, setting up the possibility of an OL LDS matchup.
No matter what happens in the post season, Annandale and Waffletown will move up to Gold. Boulder City and Algoma will remain at Silver
