Monday night’s Coed Silver League is ready for tournament play. In the photo above, Edward Jones’ Investments’ Robert Ownbey fouls off a ball in their 15-5 loss to TK Mining (9-3). The loss leaves Edward Jones with a 5-7 record.
Even though there were no changes in league standings in any of the four adult recreation division standings, there were some upsets over the league leaders in the final week of regulation play.

Monday night's leader, TK Mining, split their doubleheader and still finished first with a 9-3 record.

The Tuesday night coed leaders, Delta Family Fun Park (10-2) lost its regular season finale but finished one game ahead of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

Thursday night's men's slowpitch leaders, Where's My Pitches, split their two games played and finished at 10-2 to keep the top spot.

H & R Block evened their season series record against Wells Fargo with a win last Thursday night to finish atop the women's slowpitch league at 10-2.

Monday Coed Silver

TK Mining (9-3) was upset, 7-6, by the number four team (All Glass Station; 8-4) but managed to stay atop the league leader board after US Bank fell to number three Kwiki Auto. The combinations of wins and losses for the number two through four teams left them all knotted at 8-4 heading into tournament play. TK Mining took a 15-5 win over Edward Jones in its second game of the evening.

Other winners in Monday night league play included DCC Crush, a 10-8 winner over Ahlberg Farms/Tri-County Seamless, All Glass Station (10-5 winner over Friggin' A's), and Ahlberg Farms/Tri-County Seamless (14-13 over Friggin' A's).

Tournament play began on Monday, July 2 at Mountain View Park.

Tuesday Coed Gold

The numbers changed in the win-loss columns but not the order of finish for the six Tuesday night teams. Delta Family Fun Park lost its only game of the evening to second place Wells Fargo (9-3) by a 24-20 score. The two teams finished first and second respectively.

Twist Off (8-4) had a doubleheader to conclude its regular season schedule and won both games with a 9-3 victory over The Pondy (1-11) and a 16-12 decision over Hellman Chevrolet (7-5).

Classic Wood Floor Designs/Aftershock, the number two team, won its only game of the evening with a 16-11 score over Big B's (6-6), the number six team.

The league's third-place team, Delta Metals (9-3), took care of Balls Deep after it had upset Where's My Pitches in an earlier contest. Delta Metals defeated Balls Deep 14-4.
