Pulling Ahead
ATLANTA, GA - The Atlanta Fire Ants began this chapter tied with the
Akron Ryche atop the Hrbek Division. But thanks to a 12-6

this chapter, the Fire Ants now own a comfortable four-game lead.

Spinning the Wheels
SALEM, NH - The Salem Cowtippers wrapped up Chapter Four
with a 16-8 record, and are playing .646 baseball since
the start of Chapter Three. Yet, because New
Milford (.591 during that time) and Corona (.568) refuse
to stumble, the Cowtippers remain eight games back in
the division with just two chapters left to play.

C.C. No No
LOS ALTOS, CA - Los Altos ace C.C. Sabathia became the 14th player
in BDBL history to toss a no-hitter with a stellar effort against
the Corona Confederates on Monday. It was the third no-hitter
thrown by a Los Altos pitcher in franchise history. It was
also the only win of the series (a 1-0 victory, won on a walk-off
homer by Adrian Gonzalez) for the Undertakers in the series, as the
Corona Confederates' stunning roll toward a division title continues
unabated.

Allentown's Ryan Braun (.398/.495/.634) in the EL.
