2018 Post-season Results and Match-ups
The 2018 regular season is now history. The Westpark Ripcats looked to cap off their record-breaking season by rolling to the league championship as they joined 5 other teams reaching the Liberty League playoffs. However, things did not go as planned for the Ripcats. After earning a bye in the 1st round of the playoffs, Westpark started strong by taking games 1 and 2 of the semi-final series against the Bones Demons. But Marriottsville rallied to win the next 4 straight, shocking the Ripcats (as they had also surprised the Castaic Quakes in the opening round) to move on to the World Series against Richmond. The Razzmatazz had defeated the ConnRiver Patriots in their semi-final series in 5 games. The underdog Bones Demons ran out of magic and the Razz rolled over Marriottsville, taking the league championship with a 4-game sweep to earn their league-record 5th title and 3rd in the past 4 years.
Congratulations to John and the Razzmatazz on their series victory.
