Won by a pitcher who threw all three games
The 2024 championship series went the distance. The Conshy Marlins, second in the table, beat a Dirt Dawgs side that had gone 21-2 in the regular season, taking their second consecutive title — with one pitcher appearing in all three games for fifteen innings, winning the first and saving the third.
The league also kept separate post-season divisions for 2021, 2022 and 2023, each with its own standings, so its brackets were recorded as competitions rather than footnotes. High Cheese builds and runs a bracket off the standings the season already produced and keeps it as its own record, so a top seed losing a final is preserved with the season that set it up.
