Severance always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .632. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Pueblo Central only posted an OBP of .417.

Severance is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-4-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games.
