The Wednesday league SCAM, the first-place team, will meet No Miscueses, the fourthplace team. The Favorites will play the third-place Sharks. The two winners will meet to determine which teams will play the winner of the Monday league.
Rusty Aquino won six games for SCAM, while teammates Cornel Sneekes and Millie Larsen each won five games. SCAM ended the season with a record of 71 wins and 59 losses to lead the second place Favorites by four games.
The Favorites, who spent most of the season in last place, beat the Sharks 9-4. Dave Silva and Connie Terry both won five games for The Favorites.
