League recap: Alliance and Canton South to meet this week in 1 vs. 2 battle

On May 9, 2012, the top two teams in the current league standings will go head to head, as Alliance and Canton South meet. The Aviators currently hold a 2.00-game lead over the Wildcats for first place.

Canton South trails Alliance by just 2.00 games in the league standings, which means there could have a new first-place team by next week.

The Aviators's pitching was especially stingy this week, allowing nine hits and three walks to lead the league in both categories. Alliance has given up a mere 104 hits on the year in addition to compiling 134 strikeouts. Nathan Rice is the leader in that category with 54 Ks on the season.
