July 10: Business Week 10 @ High Times 4

In the much anticipated matchup of the NYMSL's 2007 playoff finalists, Business Week got the best of High Times, who ended BW's 35-game winning streak with an come-from-behind title game victory last September. In this contest, BW took an early 4-run lead on their home field in Riverside Park and doubled it in the 3rd inning when lefty-swinging 1B Del Hawbraker clouted a 3-run HR over the stone wall in right field. HT fought back with 3 runs in the 4th, but it was too little and too late as BW cruised to their 4th straight league win. (Steve Bloom)
