dbacktom 4, Desert Dingleberries 5
Eight K's from Sanchez and two saves by Franklin were instrumental in Dingle pipping tom, despite the loser getting two HR and six RBI from Ankiel. Holliday homered twice for Dingle, though neither side pitched well, Desert's 5.82 ERA being sufficient for victory.

Kapsaicin Kids 10, SHUperMen 0
The first sweep since the Opening Week saw Kids take it to SHU. Most of the categories weren't that close - SB and Sv were each decided by one. Wright (5 R, 2 HR, 6 RBI) was the star on offense for Kids, while Meche (W + 6 K) and Broxton (two saves) led their pitching.
Wimboes Barmy Army 5, Blonde Streaks 4
