Bay Area Vintage Base Ball

A single inning of substance provides the Pacifics (8-1) with enough aces to surmount Barbary Coast (2-6) at Big Rec in the ultimate match upon Sunday’s slate

The Eagles (6-3) awaken the willow in the final frames as they pull away from the Pelicans (1-8) to keep pace with the West Division leaders

The Reddingtons (4-4) use a surge in the middle frames to provide an insurmountable edge, but they're required to hold off a response from the Dukes (3-6) before departing San Jose with a triumph in hand

Sunday's slate opens with the Aces (5-2) overcoming an early deficit against the Sea Lions (4-5), allowing the Dublin nine to gain ground on the idle Clarions in the East Division race
