Tuesday, at Veterans War Memorial Park, in a game where the defense outshone the offense, the Shady Ladies shaded the Honeys, 3-2. The Ladies scored one run in the top of the first inning. That was it until the Honeys tied the score with a run in the bottom of the sixth. Griffen Hughes answered by driving in two for the Shady Ladies in the top of the seventh to make it 3-1. The Honeys got one back in their half but no more.
The Late Fees upset the Creamers in the late game at the park, 14-12. The Fees wasted no time laying claim to the win. They batted around and scored six runs in the top of the first inning. The Creamers responded with two.
