The Cary Southpaws were hot down the stretch and win the OL Gold Crown. Sonora HS Broncs came a close second. Cary won with a very balanced team.
Lots of hot OL teams down the stretch and lots of playoff spots. OL teams won 4 divisions and 2 WCs. Congratulations and the possibility still exists to get 4 promoted teams (I do not believe that has ever happened in Gold). Cary's Joe Morgan led the league in WAR (7.7) and Waffletown's Jackie Robinson had an amazing 5.55 WPA--both MVP candidates. Knockemstiff led the league in pitching WAR (6.9). Port Rupert Mundys were one of the many hot OL teams in September but alas they fell just short of getting out of relegation zone and will be heading to Silver (and likely domination).
