AFL Update: Nov. 14, 2021
It was a very light night for the Washington contingent of Todd Peterson and Cole Henry in the AFL East’s 6-5 win over the AFL West.
Peterson was the sole National to appear, getting the last out of the 6th on a 4-3 groundout. He threw more warmups (8) than pitches (6).
Surprise currently leads Glendale by one game with five games left to play for the Saguaros, four for the Desert Dogs. It appears that ties are not being counted in the standings, which could come into play if the two teams finish with the same number of wins. They also play each other for the final game of regular season on Friday.
It feels funny that a team with Nats on it is a playoff race.
I am glad I did not bother to watch. I would have been disappointed in not seeing Henry. I guess it is good in that he will be ready to pitch in the important games.
