The week's closest game saw Phoenix edge things at the plate behind Uggla's three HR and seven RBI, but Complete did the same on the mound, with Rivera's four Saves leading the way. Phoenix got two W + 12 K from Dempster, while Shutout had five RBI by Hardy.

Waffles 1, Mizzoula Osprey 9
Waffles haven't had an easy schedule, playing the top two in successive weeks. But losing 1-19? Ouch. Only K's stood between them and another whitewash: Phelps had 13. For Osprey, Wilhelmsen had three Sv, Cespeded homered four times, and Goldzilla drove in a dozen.
Sofa King Juiced 6, Moved Upton 2

Week 11 Games
AZ SnakePit vs. Blonde Streaks
MyWieterGetzLongoria vs. The Fighting Amish
Phoenix Platypi vs. Space Wizard
Alabama Slammers vs. CompleteGameShutout
Waffles vs. Dirt McGrit
Sofa King Juiced vs. Mizzoula Osprey
Got Grittiness? vs. Moved Upton
One fixture leaps out: Sofa vs. Mozzoula, the top two going head-to-head, for the only time this season. They've got a comfortable lead over the rest of the pack in the standings, but as well as bragging rights, there'll be a psychological advantage for the winner, because I wouldn't be surprised at all to see these two meet in the post-season, quite possibly for all the marbles in the final round.
