Dodgers repeat as MABL Champions. For the second straight year and their fourth time as a franchise, the T's Pub Dodgers were crowned MABL Champions, as they defeated the Yankees in deciding Game 5, winning the series 3 games to 2. Led by the arm of Dan Petro, the Dodgers won the game 4-1. Petro finished the season 11-0 overall, including two wins over the Yankees in the Finals. Down 4-0 going into the bottom of the 7th inning, the Yankees threatened a comeback. The Yankees scored a run. Then, with 2 outs, and 2 on, and Mike Moloney as the tying run up at bat, Moloney hit a deep blast to right field that on a windy day might have cleared the Chelsea HS fence to tie the game. Instead, it was hauled in at the warning track for the final out as the Dodgers clinched victory.
