World Playoff Madness
This morning, the World Playoffs began with 8 separate games pitting the higher-seeded home teams against the underdog visitors.
In exactly 1 game did the home team come out on top.
While the Roughnecks put a beating on the unfortunate Rangers in a 13-3 rout, the other 7 home teams tasted defeat and were sent home for the winter in a series of shock defeats, including three 1-run wins by visiting teams.
What's more astonishing is that in all three of those games, the visitors put the winning run on the board in the 9th inning or later, while there were absolute scenes in Newfoundland as the St Johns Deadly Sins, the highest remaining seed, were eliminated when the batter representing the tying run grounded into a double play to end the game.
High drama abounds across the playoffs in Franchise Ball this season!!!
