:: 2016 - Week 10 Recap ::


Well, Week 10 was a modified schedule weekend as the Kids were unable to field a team, resulting in an automatic forfeit to the Nads.

That forfeit bumped the Nads up to 7-3, keeping them in the hunt for the Regular Season title. The Kids' record falls to 1-10 for the year.

In the opener, the Dawgs and Seymour Results squared off and the Dawgs sneaked away with a 9-7 win to improve their record to 6-4, sitting only one game back in the loss column of the league leaders. Seymour falls to 0-10. 


In the late morning game, the upstart Franchise looked to continue their quality play of late as they took on the defending playoff champs, VC Marvels. A battle is was the the Franchise fought back to take a 9-7 lead midway through the 6th, only to have the Marvels drop a 5-spot right back on them to finalize the scoring in a 12-9 win for the Marvels - who move into a logjam atop the standings at 8-3. The Franchise fall back to 4-7. 

The early afternoon game had two giants from the standings square off in a rematch from week 2 where the Skeleton Crew had taken down the Aces 15-9. The Aces went on to win their next 7 games since that loss and have rocketed up the standings. The Crew, owners of 1st place via tiebreakers fell to the Aces 14-7 this time around and that result vaulted the Aces to the top of the standings, 1/2 game ahead of three teams, including the Crew. 

The final game of the day featured the Riddlers and the Sexpos. The Sexpos were in need of a win to keep pace atop the standings, while the Riddlers continued to fight for playoff positioning. The Riddlers started out hot, dropping a 4 spot on the Sexpos to kickstart the 1st and followed that up with solid pitching and defense. They never looked back and took down the Sexpos 11-4. It may appear the Riddlers have found their new pitcher. The Sexpos fall to 7-3, while the Riddlers jump to 4-6.

Special Note for next week: Double headers emerge again as the Riddlers and Seymour take to the Northwest field first at 11:30a followed by the Sexpos and the Dawgs at 1pm. Please note the duties each and every team is responsible for as well as the Special Umpiring schedule set for the day.
