Trophy Fall League 2018 Season

The 2018 WHAT? Monday Night Summer Squad won 17 games. This was there 12th Summer League night Championship in 20 years. The ’018 Club were pretty stacked between Ryan Siembal, Brad Callahan, Tommy Dubicki, and Matt Cross as power hitters in the lineup. The pitching was also stacked between Aaron Archibald and Cooper Trodler who were big names in 2018.

During the season, the WHAT? Monday Squad strung together a few extended periods of winning, including an eight-game win streak to close out the season and several three-game winning streaks as well. The best their opponents could muster was a five-game winning streak in late June and nothing beyond two-straight wins after the mid-season.
