In the same row as everything else
Results are published in the schedule itself, one column along from the officials: the Blue Jays beating the Padres 6-3 at ten in the morning, the Patriots beating the Lugnuts 13-3 at one, the Giants shutting out the Riverdogs 11-0 at four, the Athletics beating the Pirates 19-3 at seven -- four games, one field, one Sunday.
Ties are recorded as they fall, and the team histories carry them in the records: 7-7 between the Lugnuts and Athletics on a March Sunday shows up in both clubs' season lines.
That single table -- date, time, field, city, away, home, officials, result -- is the whole league in one view.
A score reported once on a High Cheese league page becomes the standings, the club's franchise record and the player's line at the same moment, which is the arithmetic somebody is currently doing to keep sixteen seasons of team histories correct.
