What plus 99 and minus 162 conceal
The league publishes no game results. What the standings carry is the aggregate, and the range is severe: Cold Spring at plus 99 across twenty-four games, St. Augusta at minus 162 across nineteen.
That is roughly eight and a half runs a game against the Gussies, which in Class C town ball means a lot of long Sunday afternoons.
Pearl Lake's 9-10-1 is the other detail worth noting: somebody played a tie, which in this classification usually means darkness rather than a time limit.
High Cheese scores the game at the field, offline if the signal drops, and posts the box score when the book is finalized, so a minus 162 is nineteen games somebody can look at rather than one number.
