Props to the Cubans for putting up one helluva fight, but the Atoms pulled off another comeback to continue their winning streak to 03 games. This week's featured player is SP Dylan Cease, who was stellar, with 15 Ks over 11 innings and just 02 earned runs. We'd be remiss, however, to gloss over the performance of RP Felix Bautista and his 05 saves. We finally head back to Las Vegas this week to start a 03-game homestand against the Oakland Squirrels. #BetOnIt #UpAndAtom #OAKvsLV

Power rankings!

The Bison came away with a win last week, extending our win streak to 9 games. We head to Detroit (gross, Detroit) to take on the Deacons this week. The Bison clinched a playoff spot, but are still tied with the Thunderbirds atop the AL, so this is a crucial matchup against a team that's only 2 games back on us. We're going to have to keep playing tough ball, and hopefully outplay a very tough Deacons team. We're going to be wearing the standard away grays this week, and we're featuring relief pitcher Giovanny Gallegos who took control of the middle innings for us last week. #WeAreOK

We are starting to see more clarity, as, despite losing, Las Vegas is the third team to clinch a playoff spot, joining the Arizona Thunderbirds and Oklahoma City Bison. The Turtles look like the next to clinch, as they have a 5 game lead on the Gemini with 5 to play. A win or tie by the Turtles OR a win or tie by Gemini will send the Turtles back to the post-season.

On the flip side, both the Pros and Cubans were eliminated with their respective losses. Meanwhile, the Condors are 5 back on the Deacons with 5 to go, and the Condors are in Detroit this week. The slim hopes of Los Angeles ride on a big win on the road this week. The Saints are also on the brink of elimination, being 5 back on both the Squirrels and Masons. The Saints have lost both games against the Squirrels, and one against the Masons. So Montreal will be eliminated with a loss or tie OR a Masons win or tie. If Boston loses out, and Montreal wins out, it would set up a winner take all last week. And even that would need some help from the Griffins.

The win streak hits double digits, as the Bison grab their 10th straight win, maintaining a tie atop the American League with the Thunderbirds. We are at home this week, as the Griffins come to town. The young Griffins are fighting for a playoff spot, so we know this one won't be easy, but we always expect hard things at Cox Ballpark! We're going to get out the alternate brown uniforms for the last time this season, and we're highlighting relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. who locked down 3 holds and struck out 9 hitters last week. #WeAreOK
