Greeneville Astros Come Out On Top

For the first time in eleven years, Greeneville won the Appalachian League.

After making the playoffs by just half a game over the Elizabethton Twins (34-33 vs. 34-34), the Greeneville Astros showed that they truly belonged, winning the playoffs in dramatic fashion by holding off the Princeton Rays in the third and final game of the championship series, 8-7, after beating the Kingsport Mets in a 2-1 series. Fun fact: Every single game in the Appy League playoffs was won by a road team.

The offense was mediocre: they were second-to-last in AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS, as well as HRs, but they did lead the league in SBs.
