It all came down to the final game of the season, but with a Muckdogs 4-1 victory over State College at Dwyer Stadium tonight, Batavia can now boast that it's home to the 2008 Pinckney Division Champions.
The Muckdogs won the title with a slim half-game lead over Jamestown, which finished the season on a high note, taking it's final five games, including two crucial games agasint Batavia. The Jammers beat Williamsport tonight 9-5.
The end-of-season surge helped Batavia's Western New York rivals secure a wild card birth over the Brooklyn Cyclones. The Cyclones came up short with a pair of loses in the season's final games after losing only one game in the previous two weeks.
The Muckdogs now travel to Lowell for the first game of the playoffs.
Most likely, we'll see a post from Mollie soon with an update on the final game and more information on the playoff schedule.
If Muckdogs win it all ! I
If Muckdogs win it all !
I cant wait for the parade and the president to visit as the convoy marches down main street.
Our children will skip and cheer, our women will kiss the unsung heroes and the men will bow in awe.
Our cannons will fire for victory while the whole world watches in admiration.
The hardship is over for us batavians.
We finally hit it big and solved all of our problems for the fiscal years budget.
Muckdogs now and forever !
