Benchwarmer Championships

We're guaranteed a first-time champion this season once again - as all four division winners are here for the first time. 

 

Matthewson Conference: Angleton (87-63) vs. Boar's Nest (90-60)

Angleton started off hot this season, racing to a lead in the Cobb Division that it never relinquished.  Meanwhile, Boar's Nest used a late-season surge to jump from third to first and finish with the league's best record.

Season series: Tied 6-6

Boar's Nest Wins in 5 Games

 

Johnson Conference: Wheatland (79-72) vs. Copenhagen (86-64)

After coming close last season, Copenhagen knocked off three-time Ruth division champ Nordeast with a late push to take over the top spot.  Wheatland is a worst-to-first entry, moving from the absolute worst record in the league to a playoff contender.  The Wolves had to defeat San Francisco in a division playoff to get to this round.

Season series: Copenhagen had an 8-4 advantage

Wheatland Wins in 5 Games

 


BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Wheatland vs. Boar's Nest

Two different success stories here.  Wheatland began life in BWB as the Brooklyn franchise in 2000, finishing second to London (now Minnesota).  After moving to Wheatland the Wolves finished third, then fourth, before rebounding to the top spot this season.  Meanwhile, Boar's Nest entered the league as an expansion team in 2001, rising to 2nd place in 2002 (missing by 1 game), and to the league's best record in 2003.

Season series: Tied 3-3
