2010 NM MABL Champions – NM Expos (as told by Frank Martinez, Expos Manager)

Entering the 2010 season, the NM Expos had high expectations after coming off a disappointing 2009 campaign which produced a Casey Classic Tournament championship, best overall record in the league and a #1 seed entering the playoffs. Once again the NM Expos were rewarded the #1 seed in the 2010 playoffs for having the best overall record. The Expos had a lot of doubters and proved they were championship quality after winning the 2010 ABQ MSBL Championship. The Expos also want to congratulate the NM Brewers for a good season and hard fought championship game.

2010 NM MABL Overview (as told by Chris Maxwell, League Secretary)

In the most balanced season ever by NM MABL standards (9 of the 10 teams won 7+ games) the league saw a first time champion in the Expos. There were 7 teams that had a legitimate shot at winning the title and the road to the championships was not an easy one.

The theme of the year in MLB was pitching and that remained a constant all the way to the NM MABL – Rodney Tafoya (Brewers) won his 250^th career game, Matt Martinez (Tigers) had 20Ks and 17Ks in consecutive games and three games saw no hitters broken up in the 7^th inning. On a side note, the Capital City Bombers did have 3 players hit for the cycle in one game mid-season.

Newcomers to the league, the Hoyas and Angels won a combined 9 games and created a stir in the league that saw fresh blood for the first time in 3 seasons. The Bluejays, Cubs and Tigers took their respective places in the bottom of the standings only to see all three teams go on late season runs (including deep into the playoffs). The Bluejays finished the season in 5^th place overall (including playoffs), the Cubs finished 4^th and the Tigers set a team high for wins with 9 overall. Perennial powers Bombers, Athletics (2009 champs) and Cardinals finished 3, 4, and 5 during the regular season but their runs would not continue as the Expos (1^st) and Brewers (2^nd) proved to be too strong. A solid pitching performance by Jacob Pacheco pushed the Expos to the championship over Chad Cooper’s Albuquerque Brewers.
