🔦 Friday Night Spotlight – May 30th
With the playoff chase heating up, Friday night’s doubleheader action offers two crucial matchups. One features a top-three battle with postseason positioning at stake, while the other could determine who avoids the cellar in the standings. Let’s break it down:
⚔️ Northern Lights vs River Ducks
đź“Ť Roland Grise | đź•– 7 PM
This is a heavyweight showdown between two of the league’s best:
- Northern Lights (7-2) are on a roll, coming off wins against the Eels and Flytraps. They lead the league in defense, allowing just 29 runs all season, and are climbing fast in the standings.
- River Ducks (9-2) are coming off a tough loss to the Eels but have been strong all season and remain firmly in the top half of the standings.
What to Watch:
- This game has major seeding implications. A Northern Lights win could leapfrog them into second place, while a River Ducks victory keeps the pressure on the undefeated WarDogs.
- The pitching duel will be key—Northern Lights’ stingy defense vs. the Ducks’ power hitting.
Prediction: A low-scoring thriller could be in store. Whichever team wins may become the WarDogs’ biggest threat.
đź’Ą Bombers vs Brew Crew
đź“Ť Kerr St Park | đź•– 7 PM
While the stakes are different, the intensity will be just as high.
- The Bombers (0-11) are still seeking their first win of the season. They’ve allowed a league-high 200 runs and are coming off a 31-7 loss to the Ducks.
- The Brew Crew (3-8) have had some bright spots, including a 12-5 win over these same Bombers earlier this season. However, they’re struggling to gain traction and sit 8th in the standings.
What to Watch:
- The Brew Crew will look to sweep the season series against the Bombers and stay within reach of the 6th playoff spot.
- For the Bombers, this is a prime chance to avoid a winless campaign and flip the script late in the season.
Prediction: If the Bombers are going to break through, this might be their best shot. But the Brew Crew won’t go easy — expect some offensive fireworks.
🎟️ Don’t miss the action under the lights this Friday! From playoff contenders to pride-fueled rivalry games, there’s something for every fan.
