That game was the start of the Beamriders five game winning streak that spanned most of the season.

None of the teams had a big start aside from the Beamriders. Most of the teams took a few weeks to be consistent.

By mid-season, the Beamriders and Smash were leading the Action Network, while the championship hopes were still alive for all four teams in the Battle Network.

Although the Beamriders started with a perfect season, they had problems toward the end of the season, barely winning two 18 inning games and their perfect record being spoiled by a 1-0 loss to the Mutants. They still managed to be Action Network Champions and make it to the first championship series.

The Battle Network ended in a three-way tie for first place, with the Spartans emerging as network champions.

Game 1 of the championship series took place at Spartans Stadium on September 29. The Spartans jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, then the Beamriders tied it at two in the 3rd inning. The Spartans scored two more to take a 4-2 lead, only to see it vanish as the Beamriders scored three runs in the 7th and go on to win 5-4.

 

Game 2 was the next day at Beamriders Field. The Spartans broke the scoreless tie in the top of the 9th to win 1-0 and even the series.

 

Game 3 was back at Spartans Stadium. It was another tough game until the Spartans broke out with two runs in the 8th and took a 3-0 lead. They went on to win 3-1 to become the first IBL league champions.
