ACL's at Brewers:
Brewers win the series (4-7, 6-5, 7-6)
Brew Crew send the fans home happy with walkoffs in both G2 and G3. In G2 Springer lead off the bottom of the 9th with a solo HR to break a 5-5 tie. Part of a 5-2-4-2 night for the leadoff hitter. In G3 the Brewers trailed 5-6 heading into the bottom of the 9th, but Peralta was not effective for the ACL's giving up two singles and three walks to blow the save and take the loss.

Tubemen at Thunder:
Tubemen win the series (6-4, 9-5, 4-6)
Hoerner with a perfect 4-2-4-0 line in G1 for the WIT. Bard tried to give the WIT a sweep, giving up 4 hits and 2 runs in the 9th in G3, but he eventually closed it out for the Thunder win.

Rattlers at Miners:
Miners win the series (8-1, 4-1, 4-3)
Every Rattler with a hit in G1, that's always fun when you get team efforts.
Miners only have 3 hits in G3, but they made the most of them. A 2-run HR in the 8th by Hoskins was the big blow.

Hammers at Bums:
Bums win the series (5-4, 1-3, 7-1)
A 2-out double followed by a walkoff single gave the Bums the win in G1.
In G3 Lopez and a trio of RP only allowed 6 hits with an unearned run. Alonzo with his 31st HR.

Kraken at Dogs:
Dogs sweep (4-3, 7-2, 4-3)
Walkoffs have been the story tonight. In G1 Mercado with a pinch-hit walkoff single.
Edwin Diaz picks up a win (7-2 on the year) and a save (20th) in the series.

Robots at Sweets:
Sweets win the series (3-1, 6-2, 3-6)
Since June 9th (so almost two months) the Sweets have been easily the best team in the league. Their 40-11 record since then is 6 games better than the Brewers, 9 games better than the Bums and no one else is even in the same stratosphere. For point of reference the best record in the KML is the Landlubbers at 29-22, 11 games behind the Sweets pace. During this stretch the Sweets have scored 275 runs (tops in the league) and have given up only 173 runs (also tops in the league).

Rougarou at Argos:
Rougarou win the series (3-6, 4-1, 6-1)
Anyone who picked against Verlander in the GIG is probably wrong.
6 innings, 2 hits, 0 ER, 10 K's - and he improves to 13-4 with a 1.72 ERA. He's almost single-handedly keeping the Rougarou in this. They are 40-45 in non-Verlander decisions.

Landlubbers at Anglerfish:
Lubbers sweep (3-2, 7-6, 4-2)
Lubbers on a 5 game winning streak, Fish on a 6 game losing streak.
Lubbers with a 2 game lead in the KML standing after the sweep.
Fun game in G1. Score tied 2-2 heading in the 9th - Edman walked, stole 2b and advanced the 3rd on an error by the Fish catcher, and scored the unearned run on a Riley single for the game winner.

Sea Wolves at Koi:
Koi win the series (5-2, 5-9 in 10 innings, 5-3)
After a Donaldson GS in the 6th gave the Koi the lead, the Sea Wolves avoided the sweep by scoring 2 in the 8th, 1 in the 9th, and 4 in the 10th. Judge with a 3-run HR was followed by with a solo HR by Pasquantino.

Madmen at Auk:
Madmen sweep (5-0, 2-1, 10-7 in 10 innings)
In a series with potentially the #1 pick on the line next season the Madmen played for wins. Plesac with the only shutout in the whole league (for this set obviously) with a 9 inning, 7 hit, 6 K gem in G1.
