Skeeters on the Brink of Elimination

UPDATE on Saturday Afternoon: The Skeeters won their first game against Southern Maryland Saturday.  After that game, Ira Liebman indicated on the game broadcast that the Skeeters own the tiebreaker if that were to come into play.  In other words, if Lancaster and Sugar Land's make up games become relevant, and Sugar Land wins their make up game while Lancaster loses theirs, the Skeeters would win the division.

After losing on Friday night at Southern Maryland, Sugar Land is on the brink of being eliminated from the first half Liberty Division race.  The Skeeters need the following results Saturday and Sunday to keep a glimmer of hope alive.

Sugar Land sweeps Southern Maryland in Saturday's doubleheader.
Lancaster beats York on Saturday AND Sunday.


This would leave the first half standings as follows:

Lancaster-40-29- -----
York-40-30- 1/2
SL-   39- 30- 1

Lancaster and Sugar Land each had a rain out in the first half.  The standings seen above would make those rain outs relevant.  In that case, I assume the games would be made up and the first half title would be decided at some point in the second half.
