News and Notes:

NL Player of the Week: Pablo Lucero (Dover) .450 (9-20) 3 HR 9 RBI
SL Player of the Week: Bob Clark (Peabody) .478 (11-23) 2 HR 6 RBI

-Bob Clark of the Peabody Tanners is currently hitting .403 (159-395) with 9 games remaining in his chase for .400

-We have three Division races that are still up for grabs, below are the state of the Pennant Races:

New Hampshire Division

Newmarket Mules 65-46
Portsmouth Clippers 63-48 2.0 GB

Central Division

Manchester Lancers 65-46
Nashua Titans 64-47

Massachusetts Division

Marblehead Magicians 58-53
Peabody Tanners 58-53

-The Salem Witches, hitting .250 as a team, which is good for last in the Southern League, would put them 2nd in the Northern League. On the flipside, the Portland Bulldogs, last with a team ERA of 4.19 would place them 4th in the Southern League.

Next on tap for the Mules are their final six home games of the season. The first three see the Dover Green Wave come to town, followed by the Durham Bobcats making their way to Newmarket, and the season ends with a possible, winner take all, three game series in Portsmouth against the Clippers!
