Head-to-head playoff update

The top-seeded Fresh Fish and Misfits posted Game 1 victories in the opening round of the semifinals series. The Fish eeked out a 172-168 win over Billy Ashley Wind Generator, while the Misfits used a big week to beat the Rookies 222-181. BAWG and Rookies must win this week to force a deciding Game 3. If the Fish and Misfits win, the championship series (and third-place series) will begin in Week 23.

The Arbitration Losers, Hammerin Hank and Halladay Road were winners in the first round of the consolation round-robin.

As far as the overall race goes, little has changed. Fresh Fish (3985), Misfits (3736), BAWG (3614) and Rookies (3561) hold onto the money spots. It would take a major charge by the fifth place Pitch You Blockhead (3349) to break up the top 4.
