Regular Season: Floral Arts (19 Wins - 5 Loses)
Play Off Champions: After a bye in the first round as the regular season champion, Floral Arts defeated 3E Moving (3 Games to 1) and the Mustangs (3 Games to 1).
With a 32-24 win over 3E Moving, Floral Arts advances to the Finals. Floral wins this semi-final series 3 games to 1.
This is the 10th year in a row that Floral has advanced to the Finals. Amazingly, all 10 of these appearances have been against the Mustangs. The Mustangs have won the last 5 with Floral last winning in 2012. Only one of these series has ended in 3 games, so the expectation is for yet another competitive series that goes the distance.
The series is set to kick-off on Tuesday at 7 PM.
The Nashoba Valley Veterinary Mustangs swept Burton's Grill in the best of five series. Burton's held it close in two of the games but the Mustangs continue to be a very strong squad both at the plate and on defense. In the other semi-final match, last year's champion, Floral Arts has a 2 Games to 1 lead on 3E Moving.

Earlier Mustang home runs were hit by Mike Kennedy (2HR, 5 RBI), Bill Knute, Paul Selfrige, Keith Reynolds, Cormac Bordes, and Mark Cusano. Good middle infield defense by Dan Crogan and Paul Selfrige Sr (2 doubleplays) helped the winners.
