BREAKING NEWS: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, THE SEASON IS ON HOLD UNTIL WE FIND SOMEWHERE TO FINISH OUT THE SEASON. THE CITY OF INDEPENDENCE PULLED OUR PERMIT, DUE TO CITIZENS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY COMPLAINING. AS OF NOW WE ARE PLANNING ON HAVING A MEETING 8/15 SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE COMMISIONERS HOUSE IN REGUARDS TO THE FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE. ALL WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE FUTURE OF THE LEAGUE ARE INVITED. I HOPE TO SEE YOU THEN

WEEK 9 IS ALL WRAPPED UP, AND THINGS ARE GETTING INTERESTING. WITH THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF THE SEASON HANGING IN THE BALANCE, TEAMS ARE STARTING TO KNUCKLE DOWN, THE HIGHJACKERS TOOK 2 GAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON WHILE BALLS DEEP DROPPED 2 FOR THEIR FIRST TIME THIS YEAR LOSING TO THE HIGHJACKERS 2-1 AND GREEN MACHINE 8-1. WHILE IN THE NORTH THE WOODCOCKS KNOCKED OFF SOCO 2-0 FOR A LITTLE BREATHING ROOM FOR THAT 2ND SPOT, AND THE WOODCOCKS BATTLED HICKTOWN TO EXTRA INNINGS, BUT COULD NOT PREVAIL LOSING 7-5 IN WHAT WAS POSSIBLY THE GAME OF THE YEAR.

MAYHEM STILL OWES THE LEAGUE FEE, IT'S $40 A TEAM

DID YOU KNOW?

GAME OF THE WEEK
WEEK 10


HICKTOWN BOMBERS	VS	WOODCOCKS
14-1		8-7

STORYLINE
THESE 2 HAVE BAD BLOOD AND THEY WILL HOLD NOTHING BACK WHEN ASKED, TO FUEL THE FIRE A LITTLE MORE JOEY REID AND THE WOODCOCKS SEEMS TO HAVE A PERSONAL VENDETTA FOR EACH OTHER.

RESULTS
IN WHAT WAS PROBABLY THE GAME OF THE YEAR TO THIS POINT, HICKTOWN JUMPED OUT TO A 2-0 LEAD THANKS TO A CORY MEDINA 2 RUN SHOT IN THE TOP OF THE 1ST OFF BRENT FASSE. BUT IN THE 3RD CHRIS BEETS DECIDED TO HAVE A 2 RUN SHOT OF HIS OWN OFF JOEY REID. TO EVEN THINGS UP 2-2 IN THE 3RD. IN THE TOP OF THE 4TH HICKTOWN HAD 2 SOLO HOME RUNS, ONE FROM CLINT FASSE AND ANOTHER FROM MEDINA. BUT THE WOODCOCKS MATCHED THEM WITH 2 MORE OF TEHIR OWN, BOTH SINGLES VIA BFRENT FASSE AND JIM KLOTZ. SO ONTO THE TOP OF THE 7TH WERE TIED AT 4-4, CORY MEDINA PUTS HICKTOWN UP 5-4 WITH YET A 3RD HOMER IN THE GAME IN WHAT LOOKED TO BE THE GAME WINNING JACK. THEN ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE 7TH DOWN 1 WITH 1 OUT AND A RUNNER ON 2ND CHRIS BEETS HIT THE GAME TYING SINGLE AND WERE OFF TO EXTRAS. IN THE 8TH HICKTOWN WAS PATIENT AND THANKS TO 3 WALKS AND 2 HITS, THEY TOOK A 7-5 LEAD AND THAT WAS ALL THEY NEEDED TO WIN THE GAME IT WHAT WAS A TREAT OF A GAME

GAME OF THE WEEK
WEEK 10


HOLEY BALLS	VS	HIGHJACKERS
6-6		7-8

STORYLINE
THIS GAME HAS A MAJOR IMPACT ON THAT 2ND PLAYOFF SPOT IN THE SOUTH, HOLEY BALLS IS 2-0 AGAINST THE HIGHJACKERS THIS SEASON. THE 1ST TIEBREAKER FOR STANDINGS IS HEAD TO HEAD FOLLOWED BY DIVISION RECORD, AND FINALLY RUN MARGIN. SO IF THE HIGHJACKERS LOSE 1 OF THE LAST 2 MEETINGS BETWEEN THESE TWO IT COULD VERY POSSIBLY COST THEM THAT PLAYOFF SPOT DUE TO A SLOW START. LOOK FOR EMOTIONS TO RUN HIGH AS THE HIGHJACKERS TRAIL HOLEY BALLS BY A 1/2 GAME FOR THAT LAST PLAYOFF SPOT.
