Alabama Slammers 9, Sofa King Juiced 0
Slammers came within one W of a whitewash, and take next week off, getting a bye due to their second-place finish. Hoesmer's three HR led them, but four others had two-homer weeks. McCarthy got a W + 20 K's and Madson saved four. Sofa got two HR and seven RBI from Soriano, and end 2011 in 8th.

Blonde Streaks 7, Bad Wolf 3
Despite three HR and seven RBI by Pujols, the loss ended Wolf's playoff hopes, as they finished just outside the top six; Rivera saved four for them. Gordon scored seven runs for Blonde, homering twice, while Hamels fanned 14, and Bumgarner got a W and 11 K, to put Blonde 9th.

Lady Gaga Regatta 3, Mizzoula Osprey 6
Mizzoula had already clinched their bye, but extended their unbeaten run to 15 games. They swept hitting, with Kinsler homering three times, while Morse had two HR and six RBI. Lady did just enough to avoid relegation, finishing 13th; Hunter scored seven R, and Price got 11 K's.

The Fighting Amish 7, Ignatius J. Rallies 2
The Amish finished strong, making a statement for their first-round match-up as the #4 seed. They hit .332; Furcal hit three HR(!) and Bautista drove in eight, while they racked up nine saves - Guerra notched four. Beckett got a W and eight strikeouts for the 11th-placed Rallies.

Lil Bitches 5, Los Wailoracles 5
The tie was enough for Lil, who held on to claim 6th place and a post-season spot. Los hit .323 and had a sub-one WHIP, with Hernandez getting a Win and nine K's; they finished in 10th. Lil got two homers apiece from Sanchez and Fielder, but a 7.19 ERA needs improvement this week.

Phoenix Platypi 7, Whooping Zoidbergs 3
The Platypi improved their seeding, moving up to fifth; they swept the pitching categories behind a Win and 12 strikeouts by Gee. Johnson and Hart each got two HR from them. Zoidbergs were already condemned to 1-A baseball, finishing last; Wieters has two HR and five RBI.
