Auckland and Otago continue to mirror each other as they take their respective wins to go 91-74 each.The Thunderbolts had to take it to extra innings but got there in the end. For the final three games of the year, Auckland will take on Northland while Otago take on Waikato.
Canterbury will be taking on leader Bay of Plenty so there's a slim chance that the number two spot is in play.
The race is on for that final playoff spot in Australia! The Firebirds take out the Hawks 5-1 to get themselves both tied up at 80-85
Illawarra will take on leader the Adelaide Zips for their final 3 games and the Firebirds will take on the 3rd placed Newcastle Ducks.
This is where the standings look with three games to go in the regular season.
