-Heading into yesterday's final game of the season for the Stout League clubs, Red Rock, Terrapin, and Kona all sat at 82-79, tied for the final wild card spot. Red Rock faced off against Terrapin, to guarantee one team would end up a game ahead of the other; while Kona took on Crooked Crab, needing a win to ensure a game 163 for a post season spot.

Red Rock would take care of business, defeating Terrapin, while Kona would stumble against Crooked Crab and fall short; handing the final Stout League playoff spot to the Elephino

Worster joins 400 club

Great Raft fans were wondering if it would happen this season, or if they would have to wait for the next to see slugger Brady Worster crank career home run number 400. Worster wasted no time in this game as he stepped to the plate in the top of the 1st and blasted a Chris Sherrard fastball into the stands to become just the third player in Beer League history to achieve that mark.
