Playing again in the Diamond .386 League, we made a remarkable turnaround in 2031 going from worst to first. An 84-78 record was enough to lead our division by six games.

In the Division Series, the Apalachin Attack played the Htown .45s. The .45s had won 85 games so the series was expected to be evenly matched. After dropping the first two games in Houston, the Attack were revitalized by their return to Apalachin. Three straight wins gave Apalachin a come from behind series win. Carl Furillo was the series MVP.

The National Conference Championship featured the Apalachin Attack vs the wild card winner, the Fighting Jon Diesels. After winning the first three games, it appeared that the Attack might sweep the series. The Diesels put up a fight with a couple of wins before falling to defeat in game 6. The series MVP was Attack left fielder Kyle Tucker.

The Diamond .386 League Championship was between the Apalachin Attack and the Sonoma Dragons. The Dragons led the American Conference in home run hitting and had a fine pitching staff as well. Despite falling behind two games to one, the Apalachin Attack showed tremendous resolve. They were Dragon slayers as Apalachin prevailed and won the 2031 league title.
