The Bat Girls Club needed all three games, but were able to take down the defending A division champs in the final game of the season.

Neither of the first two games were close contests, with the Bat Girls winning handily in game one, while L&B dominated game two. Game three, with the championship on the line, was a seven-inning battle between the two squads, but ultimately the Bat Girls Club closed out a 12-10 victory to win the 2022 A Division trophy.
