Down to the Wire

The Hannibal Cavemen ended up wrapping up the N.L. East with their first division championship & first trip to the playoffs. Last season, the Urbana Locomotives won the division -- this year the Locos have not had winning on their side, but they can still play a part in the determination of the last playoff spot for either the Traverse City Panthers (who come to Urbana to play 6 games) or the San Diego Heroes who are hosting the 2nd worst record in the Seattle Rainiers.

Cavemen wrap up division title, while T.C. & S.D. have 6 games left.

The Traverse City Panthers (managed by me, Shawn Baier) made a huge improvement this season, after a frustrating 46-116 season in 2013 (2012 APBA/MLB Cards); The San Diego Heroes, as the Sacramento 66'ers, just missed reaching the N.L. Wildcard last season, losing the spot to Seattle. After the season, Christopher Baier took over the reigns & moved the franchise to southern California.

We could have a scenario where there could be a one-game playoff to determine the N.L. Wildcard, which will be interesting because it would be brother against brother.
