Tight at the top of a small table
The 2026 18-and-over table has the Elysian Fields Rangers at 7-4 on .636, having scored 86 and allowed 50 -- the best run prevention in the division by some way. The Twin City Trash Pandas and the Shreveport Firedogs are level a game back at 6-5 and .546, separated only by run differential: 59 for and 53 against against 57 for and 61 against.
The league publishes its tiebreakers in order -- percentage, then runs allowed, then runs scored -- which puts defence ahead of offence, an unusual and deliberate choice.
Standings that rebuild themselves from reported scores, carrying the runs-allowed column this league resolves ties on, are what a High Cheese league page produces without anyone maintaining a table -- and they stay at their own address when the next season replaces them.
