Standings wrapup

D.C.'s 5-1 win over Sardine City yesterday was their 6th straight, vaulting the team back into contention. The O-Bombers sit just 3 games under the .500 mark, but still 7 1/2 games behind the final wild card spot. The Morris Division has become quite a logjam, with Philly at 52-52, Arkansas 1/2 game behind them, followed by D.C. The only team that looks out of it at this point, is Blue Ridge, who lost their 7th straight yesterday, a 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Sugar Bears.

Vancouver took a 3-1 victory over Marietta yesterday, winning 2 of 3 against the Mighty Men. The Iron Fist are now tied for 2nd place in the Morris Division, just one game behind the slumping Mudcats. Vancouver, with 59 victories, actually has the most wins in the division, but with 47 losses, they are statistically in third place.

In the Hanover Division, the Sugar Bears hold a more comfy lead, now up to 3 1/2 games over second place Las Vegas. The Sugar Bears have now won 4 in a row and 7 of their last 9. Vegas has been keeping pace, winning 7 of 10 and have actually moved into 2nd place, but have to wait for the Sugar Bears to come back down to earth. With their loss, the Mighty Men have dropped to third. The rest of the Hanover Division should already be thinking about next season.
