How they got there:
The Frankie Allen league ruled the summer season. Both of the regular season co-champions navigated through the Throne brackets to reach the finals. Each team lost only one game on the way to the finals, to the other. Turner Construction and Smell the Glove met twice during the regular season. In the first match-up, the first week of the season, Turner held Smell the Glove to only six runs in a dominating defensive performance. In the return match-up, Turner Construction jumped out quickly with six runs in the top of the first, but Smell the Glove found more offensive punch and shut down Turner for the next four innings. STG scored 11 straight runs and survived a late rally to even the season series with a 14-11 win.

The championship game was the rubber match, and this time one team was going to capture their first major championship. Smell the Glove advanced to the finals with a heartstopping 18-17 semi-final win over High Maintenance. Turner had an easier path to the finals. For the third straight game in the tournament they held their opponent to under seven runs. They advanced with a 9-4 win over Grizzly Cubs.
