We almost get some late drama after it all looks done and dusted, as the Browns fall in a late hole needing just one win to clinch the CAC American. In the end, they never get that win and are forced to sneak in via the back door that is opened by the Eagles' final-day 3-0 loss to Columbus.
Final standings therefore look like this:
With the final leaders and Top 20s:
Atlanta's Bobby Marshall goes close to Frank Blattner's single-season mark of 51 HR but just comes up short, leaving the only record broken this year being the .857 (18-3) winning percentage posted by
Bennie Wilson.
Maiden playoff appearances for the Browns and Bears, but they both find themselves heavy underdogs against the reigning champions and the all-conquering Grays.
