Analysis
This is becoming deja vu. Rayburn Point (22-13) is still atop the Fog Division while the Dalton Farm Fog Crawlers (23-12) stay atop yet again in the Harbor Division.
The Patcheyes have won their last six games, with second-place Echo Lake (19-16) losing their last three. Both Rayburn Point and the Harbormen were tied atop the division just three days ago. The Patcheyes won the last three games of their four-game series against Grand Hotel to start the week and then won the first three games against Eden Meadows. That series concludes today.
The Fog Crawlers went 4-2 on the week, starting by winning their last three games at Acadian in a four-game series. Then, they won only one of the first three games at Far Harbor. As of today, the Fog Crawlers hold a one-game lead over the Acadians.
Player of the Week
LF James Darling, Dalton Farm, 10/24 (.417), 2 HR, 12 RBI, 6 R
