Alabama Slammers 5. Space Wizard 2

The week's closest game saw leaders Sofa held to a tie by Dirt. De Aza and Mauer had two HR for the latter, and Delgado fanned ten for them. However, Juiced countered with a Win and 10 strikeouts by Maholm, and Rio's trio of SB allowed them to hold on and avoid the defeat.
