The NBL Softball and NCL Worlds are finishing their regular season. For the rest of the NBL and SCL it is post season tournament week.
The league portion of the NBL Softball race finishes up on Tuesday. It is a two team race for an NBL Championship. Defending champion Maria Carrillo has a one game lead over Santa Rosa.
TUESDAY NBL SOFTBALL SCHEDULE (4 pm)
Cardinal Newman at Maria Carrillo
Santa Rosa at Ukiah
If Maria Carrillo wins or Santa Rosa loses Maria Carrillo is the NBL Champions.
If Santa Rosa wins AND Maria Carrillo losses the two teams will end in a tie and meet for the NBL Championship on Thursday. The game would probably be at Maria Carrillo because they have allowed less runs than Santa Rosa 37-27.
