1960 SUPREME LEAGUE CHAMP NY YANKS IN CRUISE CONTROL
With nothing to really play for, New Yerby is playing out the season in the South Island Supreme League... the Yankees already have the
league record for wins... they were 12-2 last season... they hope to match that again this year... the Yanks have won two titles in a row...
actually this is their third straight crown... in 1958 New Yerby won the South Island Secondary League and was promoted to the Supreme
League.
New Yerby was pushed to the limit by last place Bar Harbor this past Sunday... the Yankees had to score 2 in the top of the 9th to top the
Cajuns 4-3... second place Zebulon and Delta won vital games this weekend... the Zips had to score 3 in the bottom of the 9th to prevail
9-7 over the Braxton Bruins, while the Stars tallied 3 in the last of the 8th frame to rally past the Mystic Mariners 5-4... 3 must have been
the magic number this week... Jackson roared back with 3 runs in their last at bat in the 10th to outlast the Meraux Tigers 13-11... yep, it
was a wild and crazy weekend in the Supreme League.
One question is still up in the air... last place Bar Harbor could be headed for demotion to the Secondary League... the Cajuns have a chance to avoid relegation, if they defeat Meraux on the road this coming Sunday afternoon and the 7th place Mystic Mariners lose to the Jackson Jackalopes in Jackson... Bar Harbor whipped Mystic in both games this season and has the tiebreaker.
