Some teams had a very quiet week, other teams not so quiet.  For most teams that played several games, it wasn’t a good week.
Like baseball, the schedule takes more of a normal look this week.  A quick look at the league races, after the rankings.

No. 1 (Last week No. 1) Petaluma (10-2)…Took four out of five in a tournament in Napa, which was good for a second place finish. Oh yes and also beat Analy to start SCL play.
No. 2 (2) Rancho Cotate (7-1)… When they travel to Santa Rosa on Tuesday, it will be their first game in eleven days. They will make up for that this week with a two league games and a weekend tournament in Antioch.
No. 3 (5) Ukiah (6-4)…Also had a one game week.  They have won four of five and have scored in double figures the last three games.  They are now averaging nine runs a game.
No. 4 Cloverdale (4) (7-3)…Took one out of three in the Standley Cup Tournament in the East Bay.  They met one Division 2 team, along with two from Division 3.  Back to the NCL I world this week.
No. 5 Cardinal Newman (7) (5-2)…Only game was a big win over Windsor.  Two league week begins at Montgomery on Tuesday.
No. 6 Analy (6) (6-8)…Like Petaluma, they played in the Napa tournament where they went 2-3.  Before that they began a busy week by splitting two SCL games, including the loss to Petaluma.
No. 7 Montgomery (NR) (6-5)…Has rebounded from a 0-3 start.  The last two wins were both shutouts.
No. 8 Lower Lake (9) (9-2)…A five game winning streak in which they have scored in double figures in each win.
No. 9 Healdsburg (NR) (4-4)…A two win week, including a defeating Piedmont 9-8, in a game they trailed 8-2 after five.
No. 10 Upper Lake (10) (7-2)…Hasn’t played a game since February 25th.  Welcome back to action with a home game against St. Vincent who hasn’t lost a league game since 2011.
