Alabama Slammers 4, Waffles 6
Waffled piled up 58 K's, Griffin and Peavy each getting 13, as well as a Win; Street's two Saves also proved crucial. Alabama held their own at the plate, Butler driving in ten runs, backed by three HR and eight RBI by Gonzalez; Waffled countered with two HR and six RBI from Cruz.

CompleteGameShutout 1, Got Grittiness? 9
Complete couldn't pick up a single W this week, and a round-high tying 13 HR was their only success - Ramirez had two, and six RBI. Otherwise, it was all Grittiness, Bruce had two HR and seven RBI for them, while Mujica saved four, and Vargas picked up a pair of victories as they cruised.

Space Wizard 5, Blonde Streaks 2
This was closer than it looked, with SB, W and Sv all ending tied. Blonde took K, Fister notching ten and a Win, but the Wizards countered with 13 K's for Burnett, and came within one SB of sweeping the offensive categories. Kipnis had three HR and eight RBI, and Votto scored seven.

The Fighting Amish 6, Moved Upton 4
The Amish still dropped into last place, but the win perhaps provides some hope. They had a 1.30 ERA behind Pitcher of the Week Masterson (two W, 20 K, zero ERA) and got three HR and 12 RBI from Ortiz. LaRoche had four HR for Upton, and Bailey added a W + 13 strikeouts.

Sofa King Juiced against the Alabama Slammers is the ESPN Game of the Week. Sofa have tended to win big or go home: four of their five victories, they've held the opposition to two points or less, but their two losses were by an average margin of four points. Alabama have suffered consecutive losses for the first time since Week 12 + 13 last year, so the reigning champions will want to avoid extending the streak any further.
