Lions lose top spot
20/ 6/2008
Greensox leapt back to the top of division one in the Manchester Softball League after a crunch win over Lions, the only other team with a 100 per cent record.
But the game was a real thriller, going right to the wire before Greensox emerged with a breathless 15-14 win.
Camels moved into fourth spot as comfortable 20-12 winners over basement team Speeders.
The clash of the top two in Division 2 produced another classic confrontation and Outlaws squeezed home by 22-20 over MoreLions to take top spot on their own.
Outlaws were also helped as Thunder dropped to third spot after losing 14-13 to Hackers. Mets AAA are running away with the Division 3 title chase, but were pressed hard by Titans in a 14-12 win to maintain their unbeaten record.
Clangers are in the number two slot but were also made to work hard for a 12-11 win over CLions.
