There are only four weeks left in the regular season of men's league. Serv-Ur-Self and Boxcars were out on Tuesday night and Erickson-Baldwin Insurance has the bye tonight. Action also shifts back to 5:30 p.m. for the rest of the season.

On Thursday night, Patrick Construction earned high-team honors in Ladies League action. Patrick Construction is composed of Carolyn Patrick, Lisa Handley, Nancy Morell and Anna Toner.
