South Oakland is mired in last place again after getting swept by the Butler Buccos (8-5) in Spring Hill last night. It was a horrendously officiated contest that featured multiple player ejections. I think the final was 9-3.

Butler had our number this year.

It looks bleak right now, but if we can get out of the 8/9 play-in game there’s not much difference between finishing second or seventh. We’re in a log jam of teams with 5 or 6 wins, and we play Plum (5-10), Cranberry (6-7), and D2 (6-8) in the next week, and we have two games left vs the 6-9 Eagles. So there’s still hope we can move up and figure it out before the playoffs. We will be a tough out if we can finish somewhere in the 5-7 range. Maybe one of these teams won’t pay their dues and we will get lucky and there won’t be an 8-9 game. It’s definitely possible.

Also, the way the league home page sorts the standings by points is annoying.

South Oakland plays next vs D2, Thursday night, 8:30pm at Springview Field.

Quack.
