2011 Season going down to the wire

The race to the league playoffs are very close as we reach the end of our season.  The Solano Mudcats are currently in the top position in the North division with a 9-3 record.  The Longhorns are on top of the South divison by a game over the Lumberjacks with a 6-3 record.  It looks as if the Knicks, Lumberjacks, and Crawdads will be fighting for the final 2 playoff spots as the three teams are separated by only a game and a half.

Lumberjacks 2, Crawdads 1

Mike Taylor hits a single in the bottom of the 9th to give the Lumberjacks a tough walk-off win against the Walnut Creek Crawdads at Laney College.  Lumberjacks improve to 4-1 in league, Crawdads move to 0-1.
