Seven straight, and a plus 78
The Bird Island Bullfrogs lead at 13-2 in league play and 15-4 overall, with a run differential of plus 78 and seven consecutive wins.
Fifteen games in a fifteen-game overall season being almost entirely league games is the opposite of Class A town ball, where clubs play most of their baseball outside the competition. Down here the league is the season.
A plus 78 differential across nineteen games is a shade over four runs a game, which for a side that has won seven in a row reads like a club that stopped losing in June and has not started again.
The full table carries league record, overall record, run differential and streak for all nine.
Standings on High Cheese come out of the games themselves, so a seven-game streak is visible the day it starts rather than the week somebody updates.
