In-play update in B248...Ozark have slumped heavily, and are on an 8 game skid, which include a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Patriots, putting them at 8-9 in Our League play with just 4 to go, eliminating them from title contention. Philadelphia finishes their Our League slate at 12-11, a .521 win%. Neither will be wearing the crown.

Neither will Daytona Beach, who finish at 5-5 in Our League competition after losing 2 out of 3 in their final OL series against the now champions-elect New York Patriots. Despite Bert Blyleven (12-8) going the distance, it was Mark Mulder (3-2) who got the win after the Patriots did what they've done all season when they've fallen behind. They rallied from a 2-0 deficit caused by a George Foster solo HR and a Robin Ventura RBI single. Babe Herman got the multi-inning rally started with an RBI single. In the 5th, Dave Cash grinded out an RBI single to tie it, and finally in the 6th Pete Rose drove in Jose Reyes with what would turn out to be the game-winning sacrifice fly. New York wins 3-2, and are just one Asheboro loss away from clinching their first ever Our League crown!

The only way a tie can happen at this point would be if Asheboro wins all 9 of their remaining games to finish at 21-14, which would also be .600, and then we would go to the tiebreakers.

Now I have to take off my impartial hat...I apologize for this in advance.

WE'RE GONNA WIN THE CROWN! WE'RE GONNA WIN THE CROWN!!!
