As almost seems traditional in the AtHoL, we enter the final day of the regular season with much to be resolved.

Races of interest include the following:

LA Wildcard - Houston holds a one-game advantage over both Montreal and Dayton
KA Rickey - Raleigh, with two games to play, are a half-game in front of Montgomery, who have one left
KA Chandler - while both have secured a playoff spot, the Band remains up for grabs with Rochester leading Lewiston by a game
KA Wildcard - Pittsburgh are a game to the good of a fast-finishing New York

Here are the pertinent results:

Montreal beats Cincinnati 8-2
Houston is one-hit by Mudcat Grant and lose 5-0 to Louisville
Dayton beats Detroit 7-3

Pittsburgh loses to Boston 9-0
New York loses 5-2 to Baltimore
Raleigh loses to New Orleans 4-3
Montgomery beats Winston Salem 4-3 in a 16-inning walkoff
Rochester beats Buffalo 7-6 in 13 despite a 5-hit game by Sam Rice
Lewiston beats Taunton 4-2

Yep, that leaves a three-way tie for the LA Wildcard... Meanwhile, Rochester gets home and Pittsburgh sneak into that second LA WC. Raleigh needs to win its makeup game at home to Winston-Salem to force a tiebreak with Montgomery. They do so with a 7-6 walkoff win on a 10th-inning single by Luis Rivas.

OK, here's where I just report rather than try to predict who plays whom for what or why.

The next day, Montgomery seals the Rickey Band title with a 10-inning walkoff 4-3 win over Raleigh, with an Aledmys Diaz sac fly getting it done. Meanwhile, Dayton beats Montreal 6-5 in a seesawing tussle. They then see off Houston in much more decisive fashion, earning that precious Wildcard with a 10-2 victory.

Wow. Having quite the run across my saves, aren't I?

All of which leaves the final standings looking thus:

Lewiston's Lou Gehrig comes storming home down the stretch to win the KA Triple Crown with a 322 BA, 30 HR and 105 RBI. It is the first time this feat has been achieved in the AtHoL, either for hitting or pitching.

Dayton's Ben Chapman wins the KA crown with a fine 351 average. Ripper Collins repeats as HR King with 40, while Bernie Williams (I see a pattern here...) leads the league with 115. Norfolk's Larry Lintz is the steals king with 77.

Tom Seaver is a lock as RoY and is highly likely to double up with the KA Arcadian Medal after he racks up a league-high 24 wins and leads the KA in strikeouts. It is Jumbo McInnis of Louisville, however, who is the King of K with 294. New York's Pat Murray heads the league with 40 saves.
