The Barfield Division hogs the limelight as top teams face off while Pistol Nine shatters a BBFL record.
ALOMAR DIVISION:
In last week’s marquee matchup, Slippery Pete slid by #7 WAMCO 6-5-1 to retain a shaky hold on fourth place. This week, the #2 Gashouse Gorillas attack #3 Mebion Glyndwr, who de-tusked the atypically struggling Toronto Walrus 9-3-0. At the other end of the ledger, Ghost Man On Third got a desperately needed 9-3-0 win over Hannibal’s Cannibals to climb within two games of avoiding relegation. Recent strong play by last year’s champion Thunderbirds and third-place Austin Senators has pushed them beyond the clutches of relegation for the moment.

BARFIELD DIVISION:
The #1 Magic 9 held off #2 Moscow Rats 7-5-0 and widened their lead to eight full games. The #3 1-Tool Wonders and #4 Cooney Islanders fought to a draw and couldn’t gain any ground on the leader. This week, the Rats face the Islanders in yet another A-list matchup. Bodell’s Bashers set an all-BBFL record with 17 steals, breaking the mark of 16 by European Wannabe.in 2004. And I did a triple-take when I saw this: Pistol Nine posted a K/BB ratio of 32, obliterating the record of 8.60 set by Mebion Glyndwr in 2004.

CARTER DIVISION:
Sexy Underpants, Wedding Singers and Chico’s Bail Bonds continue to fight amongst themselves for two of the automatic promotion slots to Barfield. The #8 Garth Iorg Gremlins defeated the #6 Trembling Wilburys 7-3-2 in last week’s marquee matchup but fell to 9th because of a heroic 10-2-0 effort by the New Jersey Stratuses. This week, the top-ranked Underpants take on the #5 Shining Force, who smoked Hammie’s Rollies 10-1-1. The Blocked Youngsters set a Carter record with a .372 batting average. Scottish Dunces set negative records for Carter with 16 runs and a .180 average.
