CUBS, TIGERS TOP SIRL SECOND AT HALFWAY POINT
Nobody is dominating in the South Island Second League thus far... the Delacroix Cubs (6-4) and Meraux Tigers (6-4) are on top at midyear with three teams snapping at their heels... the Bayou Bleu Blues, Mystic Mariners and Bar Harbor Acadians are all 5-5 for the season and are aching to take the top spot... Chitamaca is 3 games off the pace in last place with a poor 3-7 record.
The Blues top the league in scoring with 67 runs... the Cubs are second with 66... the Cubs and Blues have the lead in homers with 13 each... Delacroix is best with a .278 BA with Bayou Bleu second at .262 BA... last place Chitamaca has the best team ERA at 3.93, followed closely by Meraux at 3.96 and Delacroix third with a 4.09 ERA... and Bar Harbor has the top defense with a .970 FA.
The team with the best offense, coupled with decent pitching will win the South Island Second League flag... that might favor the Meraux Tigers over the Delacroix Cubs by a tad... Bayou Bleu and Mystic poor defense will eliminate those two clubs... Bar Harbor's bad pitching gives them no chance at the pennant... and poor defense will add to Chitamaca's shortcomings and woes.
