Adding injury to insult today the Boston Berserkers lost their star left fielder Curtis Horah for the rest of the season due to him suffering a broken bone in his elbow.
The insult part is that the Berserkers are on the verge of having their pennant run end as the first place Jacksonville Wolf Pack are charging down the stretch and have a magic number of 3 to clinch the SJL with Boston their current nearest competitor. The Washington Night Train are the only other SJL team to not have already been mathematically eliminated.
Meanwhile in the MGL, only 4 teams have officially been eliminated but realistically it is down to a 3 team race, with our Denver Brewers hanging in there, still in 3rd place, but only 2 1/2 games behind the leader.
It still appears that someone on the Brewers squad will end up with the best batting average in the league (with Ryan Rodgers hitting .357 but just a bit short of enough plate appearances at this point to qualify.)
In the SJL San Antonio's Joe Brodeur is still holding on pace to get a Triple Crown though he only has a 2 home run lead over fellow youngster Bill Winchester.
