7/1/11: WEEK 12 - WHO'S HOT?

WHO'S HOT?
In Week 12 - Heading into Holiday Weekend


#1 - Fairborn Post 526 Athletics
The A's (9-3) had their much-anticipated showdown with the Slammers postponed due to muddy conditions last week. The A's meet up with the Bats on Sunday, followed by a rematch with the Rangers on Thursday night. The winner of that game could ultimately decide who will be coaching for the Miami Division in the All-Star Game.
#2 - Beavercreek Sox
The Sox (10-2) leapfrog the Cardinals this week up to the No. 2 slot with three victories last week. Now sporting an impressive 9-game winning streak, the Sox knocked off the Fusion, Redlegs and Slammers. The Sox get a holiday break before another collegiate showdown with the Fusion on Thursday night.
#3 - Miami Valley Cardinals
The Cardinals (8-3) continue their hot play of late with a 20-1 win over the Thunder last week. The Cards take a 6-game win streak to Greeneview on Saturday against the Ohio Mariners. Both teams need a sweep to have any hopes of passing the Sox before the All-Star Standings Lock.

#4 - Dayton Rangers
The Rangers (8-3) have a long week ahead of them as they play 4 games in 6 days. The first is the 2nd Annual "Backyard Battle" against the Redlegs on Saturday at Springboro, featuring current 'Boro coaches pitted up against one another in a bragging rights showdown. The Rangers take on the Shockers for the first time this season on Sunday before heading to Fairborn to take on the top-ranked Athletics on Thursday night.
#5 - SD Slammers
The Slammers (8-4) have yet to drop out of the Who's Hot Top 5, and are hanging on by a thread after narrowly falling to the Sox 5-4. The Slammers play the Tigers this week, who they defeated 10-5 on Opening Day.
