In case you missed it, here is how the standings looked Monday morning:
| EFL | ||||||
| Team | Wins | Losses | Pct. | GB | RS | RA |
| Haviland Dragons | 101 | 54 | .653 | — | 787.8 | 574.0 |
| Pittsburgh Alleghenys | 98 | 57 | .631 | 3.4 | 795.2 | 602.0 |
| Old Detroit Wolverines | 97 | 58 | .628 | 3.9 | 743.3 | 569.7 |
| Flint Hill Tornadoes | 89 | 66 | .572 | 12.5 | 784.3 | 670.1 |
| Peshastin Pears | 44 | 32 | .584 | 17.4 | 325.0 | 757.5 |
| Cottage Cheese | 81 | 75 | .518 | 20.9 | 676.5 | 657.6 |
| Canberra Kangaroos | 73 | 83 | .465 | 29.2 | 780.0 | 843.4 |
| Kaline Drive | 68 | 87 | .437 | 33.5 | 636.8 | 726.8 |
| Portland Rosebuds | 19 | 57 | .249 | 42.8 | 234.2 | 882.2 |
Ignore Peshastin and Portland, who are in the right positions but have seen about half their games and half their runs scored disappear (although not their runs against). There’s a glitch in the system somewhere that messed up their results. If it persists Tuesday we’ll get it fixed. I’m hoping it just goes away.
The real news is up top. Haviland had a perfectly awful day Sunday, going .194, .275, .194 at the plate and 4.7 ip. 6 er from the mound. I’m guessing that did not go over well in Haviland, since it led to being outscored 1 to 9 and a (-1) – 2 record on the day.
And another small breath of hope for the Alleghenys and Wolverines. Neither of them had much of a day, either. The A’s took a “win” but were tied 5.3 – 5.3. The Wolverines took a narrow loss, outscored 3 – 4. Both gained about 0.8 games in a single day, a pace that would put the Dragons in third place were it to continue for the rest of the week.
