100 vs RBI

CC vs 68R

In a marquee matchup, 100% Real Juice and RBI Steaks will face off in the final doubleheader of the year. These teams have something of a rivalry, perhaps originating in their fraternity days at UW and WSU, respectively. There are sure to be fireworks in this one, as the Juice can clinch the first seed with a split or a sweep.

But if the Steaks pull off the sweep of the Juice, and Cannonball Coming also sweeps the 68ers, they will unlock the Chaos Scenario with all three teams tied at 13-3. Following the MLB 3-way tiebreaking procedure, with each team having swept one and been swept by the other: 100% Real Juice would be given the third seed (worst record in the second half of the season), RBI Steaks would take second (swept by Cannonball in the regular season), and Cannonball Coming would emerge with the top seed.

If the Steaks sweep the Juice and Cannonball falters against the 68ers, then Cannonball Coming will fall to the third seed, 100% Real Juice will sit in second, and RBI Steaks will surge into first.

Welcome to the Wild Card, We’ve Got Fun and Games

4. West Coast Washout (10-6)

5. Sons of Pitches (6-8)

6. Chicken ‘n’ Wiffles (5-9)

SP vs CNW

West Coast Washout needed a lot of help and a great performance against Cannonball Coming to get out of the Wild Card game, and they only got a little bit of each. They get a bye week to think about what they’ve done and prepare for home field advantage in the one-game playoff.

By sweeping Walks With Four Balls, the Sons of Pitches put themselves in the driver’s seat for the second wild card, needing to take only one of two games over Chicken ‘n’ Wiffles to punch their ticket into the playoffs. Can they remain focused on the games ahead, or will they be caught looking ahead to the Washout?

On the other side, Chicken ‘n’ Wiffles fell to the RBI Steaks in an ugly sweep. They find themselves in a win or go home scenario next week, and they need to do it twice. Can they ride a fresh hot streak into the playoffs?

68R vs CC

Walks With Four Balls were knocked out of the playoff race last week by an ascendant Sons of Pitches squad. The Walks have seen a lot of improvement from their pitching staff this season, and will look to reload for next year.

Meanwhile, the Purple Haze ended their season on a high note with two emphatic wins over the 68ers. The 68ers will reach the end of the line next week against Cannonball Coming, looking to crack their goose egg in the win column.
