FCL Nationals, 21-22, 5th place FCL East, 5½ GB
The F-Nats went 4-1 last week and picked up two games in the standings, but their tragic number fell to four with seven games left to play. It’s a full week this week with six games between today and Saturday, thanks to the rainouts.

DSL Nationals, 10-34, 9th place DSL South, 27 GB
The DSL Nationals only played three games last week… and lost all three to fall back into the DSL South cellar. Like the F-Nats, the D-Nats play every day this week, trying to make up the multiple rained out games – starting with a completion doubleheader today.
