If you didn't witness the key deciding game in which Kawartha Foot beat Hobies 13 to 12 to clinch 4th place, you missed a finish for the ages. For Kawartha, they needed the win. If they lost, Uncover could win their final game of the season--and the final game of the league season--and they'd pass Kawartha for 4th place.
With Kawartha leading 13 to 8 going into the bottom of the 7th, Hobies quickly got men on base and scored a couple of runs to make it 13 to 10. The drama continued as Hobies scored another two runs in between two outs being made.
So with 2 outs and the score 13-12, Hobies had men at first and second and they represented the tying and wining runs. The next batter drove the ball deep to right-centre field, where it landed far beyond the infield. The runners were moving. Randy Tucker fielded the ball on one hop while running forward and then unleashed a long, low-arching throw that headed for home plate as runners darted around the base. It bounced just inside the baseline and both the second baseman and the shortstop let the ball continue its journey untouched and then the Kawartha pitcher also wisely let the ball continue. The lead runner--the tying run--was heading for home with the winning run following not too far behind--and they were converging on home plate with the now-slow-rolling ball. Everyone was watching in suspense as the Kawartha catcher, one foot on the rubber and leaning out as far as he could, gloved the now almost static ball barely one second ahead of the tying and winning runs. Incredibly, the ball won the race and the third and final out was called. It felt like the end of a classic movie. Out made, game won, playoff spot clinched by the narrowest of margins.

The A Division and B Division Playoff Round Robins
The four teams in each division have played each other 13 times in total during the season.
On the right are Game Records for each Team Against Only the Opponents in the Division.
What it all shows is that there isn't much to choose among all these teams, with the possible exception of Deeth & White's top of the table season.
In fact, there were many one-run wins in all the games this season, which meant that the standings really could have gone in very different directions depending on how many of those one-run games might have gone the other way or ended in ties.
Good Luck to Every Team!
