Lions Ride Defense to Title
Final is Nail-Biter After Day of Blowouts

It seemed destined from the middle of the season; the Lions would be playing for the championship when the calendar flipped to March. Since a loss early in the season they had gone on a tear, and earned the number one seed. Whom they would play would need to be settled first.

The early game pitted Snowballs Deep and Stranger Danger in a strong fight, that ended 14-13 to the Danger. The Brooklyn B's then routed and undermanned Sandlot Dogs and followed it up with a 31-7 domination of Here Come the Runs. The Lions took care of Stranger Danger 18-3, setting the stage for an epic final.

The two clubs found themselves evenly matched, trading runs through the first few innings. In the 2nd, the Lions plated 4, and had opened the lead to 6-3. A few more runs and innings later saw the score at 8-6, both teams suddenly having to work for runs, finding each other a bit more stingy than the earlier opponents. The Lions bit down in the 5th inning behind Alex Kremer's pitching, and did not allow another run after that, taking the game by 9 runs to 6.

The Lions won their maiden title in their maiden season, and worked hard to improve as a team over the year. Their youthful power and defensive work allowed them to rise to the top, and they completely deserved this victory.
