Baltimore Crabs/Season 9

In the Baltimore Crabs finished first in the Wild League, first in the ILB, and were won game away from claiming their third championship before they were reverse swept by the Shoe Thieves.
After a dominant regular season, the Crabs faced the Shoe Thieves in the ILS Championship. Crabs were up 2-0 before the Shoe Thieves turned things around. At game 5, Crabs were up the whole game, until Stu Trololol put down a three run homer in the ninth inning that won the Shoe Thieves the championship. Crabs missed their almost certain shot at ascension, but avoided the curses that followed Day X and won the "Fifth Base Bubble" blessing in the election.

==Season Overview==
===Season 9: The Great Toss===
The following summary mixes canon events with community lore.
Hoping to repeat their success of the last season, the Crabs went into season 9 looking for their last win to reach ascension when, on Day 64, long-time Crab Tillman Henderson was incinerated by a rogue empire in the early hours of the morning, and replaced with upstart Silvaire Roadhouse. It turned out that if an ump tried to set him on fire, he would in fact die.
After 2 seasons of being shelled, Nagomi Mcdaniel was unshelled on Day 103, the Crab’s first game of the postseason, and hit a 2-run home run on her first at-bat. The Crabs swept their first two opponents until reaching the Charleston Shoe Thieves.
The Crabs were up 2-0 before the Shoe Thieves turned things around. At game 5 with the exhausted Adalberto Tosser pitching, the Crabs were up the whole game, until Stu Trololol put down a three run homer in the ninth inning that won the Shoe Thieves the championship. 
Crabs missed their almost certain shot at ascension, but avoided the curses that followed Day X, though they did lose the shelled Axel Trololol to the Shelled Ones Pods. To this day Crabs fans still shudder at the sight of Stu Trololol in the bottom of the 9th inning. 
In an underwhelming election, the Crabs managed to achieve only a single blessing - The Fifth Base Bubble, which would force any team outside of their division to run an extra base before reaching home. However with the passing of the weather based decrees, Nagomi Mcdaniel gained the Fire-eater and Siphon modifications, while Montgomery Bullock gained the Friend of Birds modification.
