Standings
A week ago, the Concord-Lexington Minuteboys were the lone undefeated team in the North Region. This week, they aren't even in first place. That belongs to the Kendall Hospital Yahoos, who went 5-1 for the second-straight week to move to 10-2 and first place atop the North Region.
The Yahoos started with a two-game sweep at Wattz, split a series versus North Charles Banks, and then swept the Lynn Gamers to finish the week. With the top-scoring offense and holding opponents to the fewest runs, you can see why they are the best team in the NR. 3B Kevin Hill is batting .419, while 1B Vodka Zuskin (.282/4/12) has proven to be the best all-around hitter. On the mound, Harley Buechel (3-0, 2.70) is leading the charge.
In the South Region, the Boston Common Baby Bellies are still the top team, though they did drop three games this week. Coming up behind them are the Samuel Morse Division's State House Orphans at 8-4. The Orphans lead the SR in runs scored with 118 in just 12 games. Freshman
1B Syd Thriftstore is a big reason why, hitting .388 with 8 home runs and 23 RBI. 3B Marc Giddens (.413/6/17) and RF Victor Desire (.370/6/15) are also helping this powerful group of Orphans.
