• Sickfish came out strong to win the opener 10-7, but the DaCore took the series with 12-2 & 8-6 victories
• In a sensational series the A’s tamed the Ballbreakers. The testicular smashers won game in comeback fashion 12-11 in extra innings.  However, the A’s were not dismayed and received straight A’s on the field in games 2 & 3 by posting wining scores of 2-1 & 7-5 to advance
• The GoodFellas bats exploded for a game one 15-11 to rub out of Street Family. The G-Men looked like they had game two in hand as they led 11-6 with 2 outs, but the Family came back from the dead to tie the score. That momentum gave them the extra oomph they needed to eventually win in 8 innings 12-11 to force a decisive game three. However, the G-Men got their act together to win 7-3 and win the series
