Pennant Chase
With nine games to play, the NWL pennant and playoff race looks to be between two teams: the Cherry Ghoulrillas and the Quartz Star Force. However, six teams are still mathematically alive, though Victory needs a 9-0 streak with either Cherry or Quartz to lose the rest of their games.
The Ghoulrillas just swept the Star Force to take over first place in the NWL. Now they get a chance in their next three series to dispatch of the third, fourth, and fifth place teams in their quest for a championship in the opening season of the NWL.
Quartz can take advantage of Cherry's victories by going right around .500, which should be more than enough to get them into Nuka Series.
