FTB WINS RU WEST, 3 PLAYOFF SLOTS LEFT
Last year's IPA champion Middlefield Roosters (82-69) no longer rule the roost... they were beaten out by the Fort Benton Defenders (86-65) in the Ruthlandian West Division with three more games to play, leaving only three more slots left to be decided... St. John (86-65) has a two-game edge on Crystal Lake (84-67) in the RU South... in the Tycobbian Union two races are in doubt... Midway (86-65) has a slim one-game margin over Red Bluff (85-66) in the Tycobbian East and three games on third place High Mesa (83-68), which only has the slimmest of slim chances to make the Pro Cup playoffs... if the Mustangs lose a game or Midway wins a game, High Mesa's season is over as far as the postseason is concerned... with only three games left on the schedule Denton City (92-59) and Rolling Hills (92-59) are all even in the Tybobbian West.
Recapping yesterday's action... in the Ruthlandian Union, St. John whipped Taranto 6-4 and Crystal Lake crushed Kilkenny 10-2... the Crusaders are still two games ahead of the Skippers in the RU South and Fort Benton eliminated Middlefield and Sligo with an 11-3 clobbering of the Waleska Westerners, while Middlefield was losing to Volusia 7-3 and Sligo downed Colfax 4-3... the Defenders won the RU West division flag by four games and grabbed a spot in the Pro Cup playoffs.
In Tycobbian action all three contenders in the TU East were beaten... first place Midway fell to the Kenwood Wildcats 9-8 in 11 innings... runner-up Red Bluff lost to Southport in a rout 9-0... and third place High Mesa was stiffed by the Fairfax Frogs 9-1... in the TU West Denton City was edged 1-0 by the Arlon Champions and are now tied with Rolling Hills, which powered by Cape Coral 12-6.
