Ya might as well award the title now....

With two weeks remaining in the Independent Collegiate Baseball League season, the championship is already decided.

The Albany Athletics swept the Glens Falls Independents, 5-0 & 2-1, Saturday at East Field. In Amsterdam, the Mohawks ended a 3 game losing streak, and may have helped the Athletics clinch the title by sweeping the Dutch, 5-1 & 5-2.

Standings:

Athletics 18-2-2.
Dutch 10-10-2.
Mohawks 8-11.
Independents 1-17.

The Athletics & Mohawks will play a single game tomorrow at Shuttleworth Park. Then, the Dutch return to Shuttleworth for a double-header on Wednesday. Amsterdam, then, will play a home & home series of doubleheaders with Glens Falls, as they'll make their last appearance in Glens Falls on Thursday, with the Independents coming to Amsterdam on Saturday. The Mohawks & Athletics will wrap Amsterdam's schedule on August 12.

The Athletics, the reigning Albany Twilight League champions, have a mix of semi-pro, collegiate, and former pros (i.e. Chris Salamida), something the other teams really can't match. The others, loaded with incoming collegiate players, are learning something this season. Which was the mission, anyway.
