Sombreros are the champions

The weekend stage was set for excitement.  Four teams, two points and plenty of movement potential.  But the Sombreros saved just enough games and stole enough bases to thwart any potential surge from the Ruffins or Line.

Still having four teams finish with over 70 points and within three points of each other is amazing.

Final Day

One day, a point and a half, three teams.

Heading into the final day the Sombreros hold a half point lead over the Ruffins.  To trigger the tie breaking rules, the DoorMatts would need to steal two bases OR the Ruffins would need a QS (without the DoorMatts getting one) OR the Rebels would need 3 Holds/Saves (without the Sombreros getting one).  This may not seem as impossible as it sounds since the Rebels have Corey Knebel and THREE Arizona Diamondbacks active.  So if Arizona had a lead in the 6th, and we know managers are not letting starters go much beyond the 5th inning, all it would take is for the D-Backs to run out DeLarosa, Hernandez and Bradley to secure the win and give the Ruffins half a point.

If only one of these scenarios plays out, we have a tie, so we go to the tie breaker - head to head categories.  The Ruffins lead the Sombreros in 5 categories and the Sombreros lead the Ruffins in 5 categories.  So we go to tie-breaker #2.

AB+BB+(3xIP)  Team with the highest number wins.

Heading into Sunday:

Sombreros = 11,327.1

Ruffins = 11,202

Sombreros lead by 110.1 which has actually increased since the games started on Friday.
