On May 14, 2012, the top two teams in the current league standings will go head to head, as Ilion and Clinton meet. The Golden Bombers currently hold a 0.50-game lead over the Warriors for first place.

Clinton trails Ilion by just 0.50 games in the league standings, which means there could have a new first-place team by next week.
