The Plunkers have been making a playoff push lately, winning four in a row and 7 of their last 9. Yesterday they defeated Blue Ridge 7-2, gaining a game on Hillsborough to close the gap to 2 games. Torii Hunter was 4-4 with 3 RBIs and Brian Roberts was 4-5 with a triple. Roy Oswalt held the Bombers to one run on 6 hits in 8 innings and struck out 7. The Plunkers totalled 18 hits in the match.
Meanwhile Philadelphia has officially sounded the alarms after dropping their fourth straight and 9th of 10. The Animals now sit 12 1/2 games behind first-place Vancouver - their dreams of defending their division title seemingly destroyed. Yesterday they dropped a 13-2 decision to the Las Vegas Rat Pack. The Rats are going the other direction, but despite a stretch in which they have gone 13-4 have actually lost ground to first-place Newark. That's because the Sugar Bears have run off 10 straight wins.
Marietta seems to have forgotten that they're a last place team. After winning an 8-6 contest against D.C. yesterday, the Mighty Men have now won 3 straight and are in mild danger of losing the cellar to New Jersey. "I am going to start fining my players for good play if this keeps up" says team owner David Landsman, who is hoping for a top draft position in 2009.
