All games are final...the stats are in...and the Cashman Pennant winners are the Pirates and the Brewers!
The Brewers have had the West wrapped up for awhile, but the East went down to the final day. On the strength of a huge day from their offense, the Pirates were able to build on the narrow lead they established just this week to pull out the coveted East title.
In the Cashman World Series, the results are:
Pirates - 7 (R, SB, AVG, OBP, W, HLD)
Brewers - 5 (HR, RBI, SV, ERA, WHIP)
....making the Pirates the 2015 Cashman champion.
This is the Pirates 4 overall title, 4th in 6 years and 3rd in 4 years. For the Brewers, this was their first West title.
It was one of the best races in Cashman history. Truly a 4 team race (Pirates, Orioles, Brewers, Phillies) until the final few weeks, finally narrowing down to Baltimore and Pittsburgh, with the Brewers having an outside chance depending on whether the Pirates or Orioles pulled it out. The lead changed hands several times between the Pirates and Orioles (with the 2 teams trading positions directly with each other in several categories) in the last 2 weeks before the Pirates pulled ahead for good on the final weekend.
Thanks to all for a great season. Thanks especially to those who help run and keep this league together (you know the names.)
