First off, sorry for updating so late… I had construction going on at the house and I just couldn’t get to it until now.

So for all the Leaderboard movement we had last week… this week, barely any at all… numbers 4 and 5 traded places, as did 7 and 8… that’s it… although the teams aren’t as close together as they were last week, things have loosened up a bit which is good news for some, not so good for others.

A couple minor upsets as well with Power beating Clune in this years battle of the construction companies… and we also saw Getty’s topping theBuzz… not really huge surprises although both saw the team with the better record losing the game… in the end, these were the two contests that unknotted the top of the Leaderboard a bit. And theBuzz loss coupled with a Ruder Group win this week left those two teams at 8-3 and currently separated by the scantiest 1 run allowed which is about as tight as it can get. These two play each other the week after next (thank the schedule-maker) and that game could possibly mean a lot… although theBuzz would have to knock off still undefeated REX Electric first in order to maintain that records tie.

In other action, Old Stylin’s winning streak came to an end after a 12-3 loss to Perkins&Will who ended a 6-game losing streak of their own… while the Dogz ended VOA’s 3-game winning streak with a 12-9 victory in 6 innings.

Darkness is definitely falling upon us earlier these days which makes it more important than ever for the early games to get started on time (if not a little early) and for the late games to take the field as quick as possible at there conclusion and get things underway fast. I heard some talk of late game teams that were trying to get in some batting practice before their games… please be aware that that just isn’t possible at this time of the year… we all really need to keep things moving along as quickly as possible to maximize the number of innings that get played. We’re going to stick with the 6:00/7:00 timetable for the next 2 game weeks… from there I’m going to check with the Park District on Lower Hutchinson availability… if we get lucky we might be able to run all 8 of our games off simultaneously at 6 o’clock for weeks 15 & 16 by moving all the late games to Lower Hutchinson… I’ll let you know what I hear back on that… otherwise we’re looking at 5:30/6:30 starts in those final two weeks.

Pictures are just about complete… the last ones I need are JC Anderson which I’ll get week after next… Otherwise, things are looking good… a lot of good matchups are still in store, up and down the Leaderboard… so as always, best of luck to all.
