Division C

Andy's Dr Joe Kort team remains a game out of second place. They had a mercy win over the Dirt Dawgs and a 16-8 loss to the second place Tru Family Dental Hammerheads.

Hammerheads remained in second place, and they had the win over Kort, then went into their second game only down 13-8 to Kramar. Kramar scored 10 in the last inning to pull away with a mercy win.

Kramar Jewelry Life's a Pitch had two mercy wins to make their record 19-2.

With losses to Kort and the Avengers, the Dirt Dawgs remain in last place.

Division D

The Lafontaine Ford Wildcats dropped both with a mercy loss to Kramar, and then a 1-0 loss to Barclay Internists Bomb Squad.

The Avengers had a 16-9 win over the Dawgs, and then a 11-7 loss to Adam’s 515/Pronto! Metal team.

With Metal’s win over the Avengers Adam believes they clinched first place in Division C.

Division E1

A half game in last, Juan Blanco's Misfits had a win over the Derek Pratley Pink Panda Club, and then a close one-run loss to the Bad News Beers, 16-15.

Only a half game out of last, the Beers swept their games winning over the Misfits, and then an 11-8 win over first place Orchid Theatre.

Third place Wat Da Fox Foxes split winning JMFW Cramalott Inn and then a 13-8 loss to Johnny Blacks Jabberwockys.

Jabberwocky swept with 2 wins against first place Orchid and Foxes.

Jessica: It felt amazing to get a win over Orchid. They have been tough competition this year and with playoffs around the corner we’ll see which team takes home the trophies. These next few weeks can really mix up the leaderboard.

Division E2

Having got their first win under their belt, Pandas now embark on winning number two. They tied SOHO HoHos 5-5 in game one, then losing 16-7 to the Misfits.

Cramalott went into the weekend one game in second place behind HoHos on the leaderboard, but lost game one to the Foxes and came back with huge win over HoHos 17-11.

The Ho-Ho's, because of their tie, are a half game in first place. This Pennant race is coming down to the wire.
