The last day of the regular season and nothing has been settled in the Heartland Baseball League's North League.
South Bend leads
Rochester by one game with one to go. The Silver Sox play host to
Bay City while the Reapers finish in
Cedar Rapids.
Evansville clinched the South League on September 9 and are waiting to find out who their opponent will be in the Heartland Series.
Bay City's
Gary Allen(10-11) will face South Bend's
Tommy Shelton(11-6)
Rochester sends out
Tim Treweeke(11-11) to face Cedar Rapids'
Sal Miller(1-1)
Treweeke's second half callapse is one reason Rochester hasn't ran away with the North League. He pitched over his head from until July where he posted a 9-3 record. Since Independence Day he has won just two of ten decisions.
