White was short handed tonight and fell to Red 12-9 in the early game. Blue put in a strong effort defeating Black 13-9 in prime time. Yellow started strong against Green late, leading 6-3. Green came back to tie early in the second half, only to have Yellow rebuild a two point lead. Green made some big plays and tied the score late, forcing overtime, and then scored the only point in the extra three minutes completing the come from behind win 11-10, and remaining the hottest team in the league.

By vote on our Facebook page, folks have elected to play rain makeup games on Monday 7/31 instead of our originally scheduled post-Wildwood pickup. These are the matchups:

6:00 PM

Black-Yellow

7:15 PM

White-Blue

8:30 PM

Green-Red

Here's the playoff picture:

  • White holds an extremely precarious lead over Red, and Green one game back of Red. White can clinch the top seed in the playoffs with a win over Blue on Monday, and they are assured a bye as either 1 or 2 seed.
  • Red and Green have split their two head-to-head games this season, with both games being won by a single point in overtime. So, if Green beats Red on Monday, they will pass Red in the standings on tie breaks. If Red wins, they assure themselves a bye and at least the 2 seed. Red could end up with the 1 seed if they win vs Green and Blue defeats White. If Green beats Red and Blue beats White, Green would still be the 2 seed, since White holds the tie break winning 2-1 in head-to-head games vs Green this season.
  • Black, Blue and Yellow cannot get a bye in the playoffs. Black is in the driver's seat for the 4 seed with a half game lead over Blue and Yellow. Yellow currently holds the tie breaker with their 2-1 head-to-head record over Blue.
  • Winner of Black vs Yellow will clinch the 4 seed, while the loser could slip all the say to the 6 seed depending on whether Blue wins or loses vs White. Blue will be either the 5 or 6 seed.
