After a 21 week regular season, and two playoff round, we have our Field Series matchup. And no, this is not deja vu. We do indeed have a rematch of the 2018 Field Series Championship, between the Clarksville Crushers and Westport Pilots.
In 2018, the Pilots ran away with the season, finishing 225-95-16 (.693), good for the best record in BFBL history, and 53 games ahead of the second-place team. As a result of the dominating regular season, the Pilots handled the Field Series playoffs with ease, winning the semi-finals 10-6, and topping the Crushers 11-4 in the finals.
Flip the script to the 2019 season, the Crushers have been the more dominant regular season team, entering the playoffs with the number two seed, earning one of the two first-round byes. The Crushers 205-113-18 (.637) record is good for the third-best record in league history, only behind the aforementioned 2018 Pilots, and this season's pennant-winner, Montenegro's Team (220-101-15 (.677)).
Let's take a look at how the two teams stack up against each other this season:
