Well, that was quick. Alas.
On the other hand, everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

.
Portland: W, 3 – 1.
Old Detroit: L, (-5) – 3. Minus five runs scored. How humiliating.
Canberra: W 2, L 1; 20 – 16. Pennant racing from third place is hard enough under normal circumstances. Having to play random triple headers (followed, usually, by negative double headers) makes it super hard to manage rotations, etc. Still, the ‘Roos find themselves 0.7 games closer to first. If the front two teams can just keep trading bad days…
Brookland:”L”, 5 – 4.
Cottage: W, 10 – 3.
Pittsburgh: W, 5 – 1.
Kaline: “L”, 2 – 2.
Flint Hill: L, 5 – 12.
Peshastin: L, 2 – 3.
Haviland: W, 5 – (-3). Pretty much the opposite result from the Wolverines, from a team pretty much in the opposition position in the standings.
DC: W 1, L 2; 6 – 15.
