Mizzoula Osprey 6, Los Wailoracles 2

Bad Wolf 3, Phoenix Platypi 5
Cabrera (nine R, two HR) paced the Platypi offense to within one R of a sweep, despite the nine R and three HR from the Platypi's Pujols. Wolf came back on the mound, getting a Win and a dozen strikeouts from Sabathia, but the vulture W and Sv from Nunez let Phoenix hold on.
Sofa King Juiced 6, Lil Bitches 2
