Another year, another division title...

The Bruins clinched the Zaphod for the 3rd straight year, this time in game 158 versus division foe El Paso Diablos. The Bruins had the toughest schedule through-out the summer months, but lead the division when it counted... at the end. The team also jumped out to a good start and led through-out the earlier month(s) as well.

The Bruins will travel up to H'Ville to take on the 2010 Champion Hitmen, a team that like themselves has won a division title for three years in a row. Last time the two teams met in the post-season, Manuel Rodriguez and Scott Hill did their best 'top-this-if-you-can' going back and forth all series, leading their teams to where they needed to get.

In the end, HEN took out LA in Game 7 - 4-2, with Griffin getting his fourth save of the series (Morales had 3). The storylines are set...

Can Scott Hill and Walter Bamber carry a depleted squad against the very same Bruins they took 6 of 9 from this year. Strangely though, even a depleated HEN offense would carry 3 of the 5 best offensive players in the series. Add Prowse, Padilla, and Burkholder to the mix and HEN would have been hoisiting the title about their heads no doubt.

More information about the HEN/LA series will be posted later.
