Here in Alabama, the top two teams from each area make the playoffs. One of the state's areas had two teams that did not field a baseball team this season, leaving a winless team as one of the remaining two in the area, and giving them an automatic berth in the playoffs. The were beaten soundly in the first round, by scores of 40-0 and 26-0.
While going winless, this team managed to get no closer to victory than a five-run defeat. Sad.
