BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Nokomis vs. Rainy City
Nokomis came back in the last few weeks to win their division and
then faced a 3-0 deficit in the conference championship, but rallied
to beat the favored South Hill to force a rematch of last season's
final round. In last season's series, Nokomis held a 3-1 edge
until Rainy City took the final three games to win Longball's first
championship. Now Rainy City is one of three teams this year
attempting to become BWB's first repeat champion.
Season series: Rainy City won 4-2.
