Twenty-six and four
The league publishes no game results. What the standings carry is the shape of a very good season: the Mudhens at 26-4 overall with a plus 27 differential, which for thirty games is a narrow margin for a record that dominant.
Narrow margins and a dominant record usually mean a pitching staff rather than a lineup.
Hastings at 17-16 and minus 25 is the mirror image: a winning record built on games they won close and lost badly.
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 plus 27 across thirty games is readable game by game.
