SLCBA TWIB NOTES
May 18, 2011
Portland, ME., May 18, 2011 (SLCBA): The week was one of
streaks, be it hitting streaks, homerun streaks, or pitching
streaks. It was also one where winning and losing streaks
figured prominently in the weeks final standings.
Kansas used the week to stretch their record win streak to 11,
vaulting from last to first in the Plains Division at weeks end.
Oklahoma stayed within 2 games of Kansas with their own 4
game win streak. Nebraska was steady and based on their hot
early start are still close. Texas used a 5 game win streak to
keep from falling out of the picture.
In the Pacific Division, its not about win streaks but losing
streaks. By virtue of not having more than a 2 game losing
streak during the week, Arizona holds the top spot in the division
while playing 3 games below .500. Nevada lost 8 in a row this
week, California and Washington both registered 6 losses in a
row on the week.
In the Mountain Division where 3 teams have won at least 20
games in 35, Wyoming used a 4 game win streak to hold a 2
game lead over New Mexico and their 5 game win streak this
week. Colorado was not hurt too much by their 5 game losing
streak, but Montana falls to 5 games out while playing the week
with a 4 game losing streak.
In the Atlantic Division, New York finished off a 5 game win
streak left over from last week, but other than that everyone was
playing average and nothing changed much here.
A similar situation exists in the Southern Division where at one
point this week, 3 teams were tied for 1st place. There is no
streaking of any kind going on here and the team that is able to
pull off a major win streak will move to the top and be hard to
overtake.
In the West Division, Iowa moves to the top of the division by
being the only team in the division not to have lost 2 games in a
row during the week. The other teams are not falling off the
face of the SLCBA planet, and anyone with a mini-win streak will
stay close here.
