The Lemons into the playoffs?!?!

I know many of you are asking, how did the Lemons edge the Diablos for the 3rd playoff seed? Well, let me explain!

The Diablos had 2 games versus the Shanghai Chuckers postponed before the All-Star break. The games were to be made up if they had playoff implication, which they certainly did. So July 24th, the Diablos and Chuckers met up at Flesher field to finish up these games. The Tuesday before, the Diablos lost 2 games at the hands of the Gentlemen, which left them still only needed 1 game to secure their spot in the big dance. However, the Shanghai Chuckers had other ideas, as they slugged to a 10-3 win in game 1 and won the second game in extra innings with a ridiculous score of 20-21.

These 4 losses landed the Diablos with a very respectable 13-11 record overall, but with the Lemons picking up 2 more wins the Day before, left them a half game back to the 15-12 Lemons.

Happy 4th of July!

The opertunity to leave work behind for a long weekend of entertainment.
