Arizona Muugens 2, Desert Dingleberries 6
While both sides batted well (.328 + .332), Desert came out ahead, with Jeter (three HR, seven Runs) being crucial in taking all but one hitting category. Things were split evenly on the mound: Danks had a Win + 11 K's for Desert; Pettitte struck out ten for Muugens.

Wimboes Barmy Army 4, Moving on Uptons 5
The teams combined for only six HR, but two by Pujols proved the deciding factor, giving Uptons a tie there, and overall victory. They also got eight RBI from Lee - seven in one game. Wolf gave Army two Wins + 13 K, but a 2.50 ERA for Uptons held off the comeback.

7-2 Offsuiters 7, Kapsaicin Kids 0

7-2 Offsuiters vs. Moving on Uptons is the MLB Network Game of the Week [some parts of the country may see The Fighting Amish vs. Confederate Generals] League leaders 7-2 bounced back, posting a shutout, and will be looking to retain that form. Their strength is mostly in pitching, particularly K's where they have a record of 13-5-1 this season, and ERA (13-6). The Uptons, on the other hand, are better at the plate: they are 14-4-1 in HR and 14-5 in both RBI and BA. Will good pitching beat good hitting? We should find out this round.
