Week 6 Preview

There are six games scheduled for tomorrow night's Men's Church league. Games start at 5:50 and are played every time slot through 8:50.

League-leader Wooddale Mercy Rules (6-1, 19.6) faces a tough challenge from Redeemer Bible (3-2, 18.4) in the highlighted 6:50 game on field 3. Redeemer has had some early roster issues as far as getting their top guys to all the games and sometimes having an overloaded roster of 12 or 13 guys. This week will be one of the tight weeks but I still feel Redeemer will be a handful for Mercy Rules. I see a see-saw battle with Redeemer pulling the upset, 20-16.

2nd place EPAG (5-1, 18.7) faces off against our 3rd place Resurrection Life Warriors (4-1, 20.4) at 7:50 on field 3. EPAG's unbeaten season ended last week against St. Andrew Blue and the Warriors will be the favorite going into the contest. The winner will be in sole possession of second place, with a chance at first if Redeemer beats Mercy Rules. Rez Life has had just one fixed lineup in five games. The other four lineups weren't established until minutes before game-time. Manager Colby is confident that those issues are resolved and his squad is 10-strong this week with no subs. If that holds, the Warriors should handle EPAG's new lineup and pull out the 22-13 victory.

The only 8:50 contest pits Resurrection Life versus Immanuel. Immanuel opened the season with a victory but has dropped its last five games to find itself in 8th place (1-5, 11.2). Immanuel was the only team to knock off the Warriors in 2009 and Rez is out to prove that was a fluke. I see the Warriors starting a little jumpy but locking it down soon enough to roll to a 23-8 five-inning victory.

Don't miss the beautiful 75 degree sunny weather at Round Lake tomorrow! Come cheer on the Warriors to victory!
