National League Predictions
Did , I say heartbeats would be felt all around the softball community in RSC ? When we return the National league has count-em 7 games worth of impact situations which could shake the foundation to it's very core :
Team Roor {7-13} will make their playoff push against the Blazers {12-12} who've done all they can to make things right. Both teams have had an up and down hill battle but neither side gives up which makes this game more intriguing because a sweep drops either to the bottom of the pack and this definitely hurts the Blazers chance of maybe clinching a playoff spot in the near future.
League prediction : split
Unholy {16-6} has been having quite a season but they have not been able to put away these national league teams and now the Aguilas {13-9} will have their hands full. Aguilas have turned the corner and this upstart team wants to make noise in it's first season so a sweep would do them justice while an Unholy sweeps pulls them down the ladder a little further
League prediction : split
The upstart Terror Squad {8-14} is turning the corner after an impressive win last week. They will now tangle with a determined Wolfpack {13-6} whose on fire as the leadership has taken them in a different direction. Wolfpack can clinch a spot with a sweep or they would have to wait another week in order to get in the playoffs but Terror Squad could help their cause with either a sweep { which is preferred } or a split. A sweep drops them and they would need a prayer by then to recover.
League prediction : Wolfpack sweeps
Straight Ballerz {14-10} will face an angry Full Impact {14-7} squad whose hellbent on not missing the playoffs after such a good start at the beginning of the season. Both sides have history and this war shouldn't end here as I expect a high scoring game on this one
League prediction : split
Cozy Bowl {12-10} will push the start for their playoff run as they are having their best season to date in RSC. The Lost Boyz {7-17} have been fighting to gain respect and they are only a few players away from making a difference in the National league. Should the Lost Boyz sweep Cozy Bowl their stock would rise but anything less than a split would put everything in jeopardy
League prediction : split
No one can deny that the Tigers {16-2} are having their greatest season ever in RSC as they continue to click on all cylinders and especially after a tough split against the Young Guns , they are for real people. Now the Monarchs {20-6} are definitely climbing in the RSC charts and both managers Javier Roman and Rob are thinking championship once again. Neither side has anything to lose except bragging rights but a sweep by the Monarchs pushes them closer to second place currently occupied by the Young Guns. Should the Tigers sweep , a firmer grip on first place could be had since they have another game against Unholy impending
League prediction : split
Gotta love this last game. Pirates {6-17} showing signs of support have started to mount an attack on getting the last place playoff spot. The Los Mets {7-17} have been fighting all season and this game would move them up should they sweep the Pirates
League prediction : split

This is this week's updated standings with still time for most teams to pull it together and make a serious run. The asterisk next to the teams name means they have already clinched a playoff spot as they have garnered the 16 wins needed to make it in. This does not mean the teams under cannot make a playoff run. There are 2 or more spots in which something can happen to change everything all around. Everything starts again in 2 weeks. Let's go !
