Two runs a game, the wrong way
The league publishes no game results. The aggregate carries the season's shape: Plato plus 33, Watertown plus 17, Waconia plus 10, then Delano minus 6, Carver minus 7, St. Boni minus 3, and Green Isle minus 44 across twenty-one games.
Green Isle at 5-16 and minus 44 is a little over two runs a game underwater, which is a hard summer but not a humiliating one. They are losing close.
Four of the eight clubs sit between minus 7 and plus 10, which is a very tightly bunched middle.
High Cheese scores the game at the field, offline if the signal drops, and posts the box score when the book is finalized.
