Some big time games were played this week and we're now starting to see the field solidify a little more. Thursday was jam packed full of marquee match ups and there was plenty of drama to go around.
With rain threatening to close the doors on softball for another week, determination became the name of the game. Several teams out-lasted the weather report and the results were as exciting as advertised.
Key Games:
Dukes of Haphazard v. Blue Pups - these two Top 5 teams clashed in one of the premiere match ups this week and the result was a nail-biting 6-5 win for the Dukes. While Haphazard remains in the Top at #4, the Pups take what I am sure will be a temporary walk down to 21, they'll be back.
DGS v. Milwaukees Best - DGS is starting to show who they really are after some close match ups earlier in the year, they easily took care of business with MB and now are sitting squarely at #5.
Strike Place Market v. License to Il - watch out House League, the SPM team that improved a record 62 spots last season is looking to do even better than that after an 18-3 shellacking of #4 License to Il, that moves SPM to #18 and should put them on everyone's radar.
Dragon Slayers v. Big Sticks - the chinks in the Slayers armor may have shown up here with a less than convincing 8-7 victory over the Big Sticks, while the Sticks are a solid ball club, I think everyone is looking for the #1 team to start handling business a little more easily.
Other notes:
Suspicious Packages, Metro All Stars and Natty Boh All Stars both remained undefeated with easy victories; the Destroyers, Vito Power, Not Rocket Scientists and Scared Hitless also picked up some solid wins; in convincing the fashion, the Colorado Cutthroats and Capitol Punishment responded to some early week criticism with victories, Cold Hard Cash on the other hand was not so fortunate.
Top 5:
1. Fat Drunk and Awesome

Softball Guys Top 5:
1. Dukes of Haphazard - strong win this week over a Top 10 team makes them #1 for now.
2. Texas Republic - still the most potent offense in the league
3. Dead Presidents - alive and kicking ass these days.
4. DGS - a few more grand slams would make the #1, but still a good team.
5. Insliders - not playing isn't a good enough reason to drop them out of the Top 5.
