1880 COASTAL CONFERENCE REVIEW

FINAL STANDINGS





PER-TEAM STATISTICS

1880: 6.9 R/G, .276 AVG, .671 OPS, 755 H, 139 2B, 40 3B, 8 HR, 51 SB, 3.09 ERA, 105 BB, 195 K, 5.7 E/G, .873 FLD%

Bridgeport was originally projected to take the 1880 C.B.C. championship with a 53-17 record. They were two wins short of the Writers Pool’s projections but still comfortably repeated as champs, with expected runners-up Sportsman’s finishing in second place but having eleven more wins than anticipated.

After that, the season didn’t go as expected. Projected cellar dwellers Camden & Amboy finished 3rd thanks to strong pitching. Essex County jumped two spots from projections to finish 4th with the league’s #2 offense. Highlander had the same record the Writers Pool pegged them at, but they finished 5th instead of 7th. Capitol City was one place down from where they were expected because they had the league’s weakest offense. Olympic finished 7th instead of their projected 3rd because of the league’s worst fielding. Lynn finished last instead of 4th because everything they attempted to do went wrong.
