1. Harrisonburg Turks: 27-13, clinched top 5 playoff seed, 4 games remaining: NM, Cov, at Cov, at Stras (?)- not sure about the 4th game. The Turks have a stranglehold on the regular season championship- a 2 game lead with only 4 left to play.

4. Waynesboro Generals: 24-16, clinched top 6 seed, 4 games left: at Stan, Stan, at NM, at Wood. Two games with Staunton will be crucial. Half game behind Braves, 1.5 ahead of Cannons.

6. Strasburg Express: 20-20, Express clinched a playoff spot even without playing last night! They are in the top 8 for sure. With one Express win or one Aldie loss, they are guaranteed a top-7 placement. Games left (4): CT, Wood, at CT, Turks (?).
7. Covington Lumberjacks: 17-22, nothing clinched yet, 5 games left: Wood, Stan, at Harr, Harr, at Winc. The Jacks hold a 1.0 game lead over Aldie and 2.5 over New Market at the moment.

9. New Market Rebels: 15-25, 4 games left: at CT, at Harr, at Stan, Waynes. Rebels are now up against it. They are 1.5 games behind Aldie for the last spot, with only 4 games to play…
10. Winchester Royals: 14-26, 4 games left: at Aldie, at FR, Aldie, Cov. Really tough loss against Front Royal last night. 2.5 games behind Aldie, but they play twice, so it’s still possible! They play tonight, so things may be clearer in the morning…
11. Woodstock RiverBandits: 13-25, 6 games left: Stan, at Cov, at FR, at Stras, FR, Waynes. Not sure how all these games will be made up. Aldie can eliminate the Bandits if they win out, but Woodstock still has a chance…

8 Aldie vs. 1 Harrisonburg
7 Covington vs. 2 Front Royal
6 Strasburg vs. 3 Staunton
5 Charles Town vs. 4 Waynesboro
Out: New Market, Winchester and Woodstock
