Southwinds responded with two runs in the bottom of the fifth and held on for the win.

Lil’ Help 15, New Life CC 11: Lil’ Help picked up its first win of the season, knocking off New Life in a close contest. New Life built an early 10-4 lead, but Lil’ Help scored seven runs in the fourth inning to take the lead and the game.

Monday Night Coed Novice

W’s 8, Underdogs 5: The W’s scored a narrow victory over the Underdogs thanks to stingy defense, and by the end of the night the W’s remained the only undefeated team in the division.
