With Boston and Little Rock dominating the Regular Season, not many gave much thought to the #3 seed Jackson going into the playoffs; however, anything can happen in the playoffs and you can never count anyone out! Jackson advanced in the first round of the playoffs against Fargo and then swept the team with the best record in the AL, Little Rock, in the Divisional Round, before topping fellow underdog Salem in the ALCS four games to one. The had a lot of momentum going to the World Series, but still needed seven games to top the NL's #2 seed, Oklahoma City to take the crown. The offense was led by Andres Alou who hit .405 with 7 HR in the playoffs and David Martin who hit .365 while crushing 9 HR during the postseason. Jimmie Hartman anchored the pitching staff getting 8 starts in the playoffs, posting a clutch 2.02 ERA and striking out 38 in 49 IP. Congrats to Jackson on merritr on their first Cobbfather championship!
