Congratulations to Stone 100 OL Champs, Daytona Beach. The Tortugas split the first two games of their final OL series against rival Ring Road, setting up a do-or-die final game.

Game 1 saw Daytona's bullpen give up a run in the bottom of the ninth, before hanging on in 11 innings for an 8-6 victory. Ring Road would come back in Game 2 with a come-from-behind 6-4 win.

Game 3 was almost an exact repeat of Game 1, with Daytona's pen once again giving up the tying run in the bottom of the ninth, and the Rams' pen returning the favor by allowing a run in the top of the 12th for the Tortugas' 7-6 final margin.

Daytona Beach is headed for the playoffs as the favorite, with a league-best record. Ring Road remains a long shot for the playoffs, 3.5 games out of the wildcard with 4 games left to play in the AC.

Meanwhile, Vlora has pulled into a tie for the 2nd wildcard spot in the NC. Ft. Huachuca has long been eliminated from playoff contention.

While the Buffalo Soldiers remain in Stone, the three other OL teams have a shot at moving up next season.
