Things continued to take shape in the softball arena during the week of June 12-19.
Master Sports, in the men's fast-pitch league, remained the only undefeated team throughout all leagues with a perfect 8-0 record.
Four of the top five individual batting averages belong to the men on the team. Eddy has maintained his No. 1 rank for the second-straight week in the averages, batting .800.
The co-ed division saw the most changes in team standings and individual batting averages.
While the top three teams Patrick Construction/Tire Rama, Boxcars, and Randolph Construction remained the same, McNair Furniture/15 West improved to fourth place with a record of 4-3.
Dave Peterson of league-leading Patrick Construction/Tire Rama (7-1) took over the top spot in the individual batting averages, batting .840.
Jackie Stallcup of Boxcars (6-1) moved into second place, batting .826.
Nic Bolken of Northern Montana Hospital and AJ Keller of McNair Furniture/15 West made their first appearance in the top 10.
In women's league, 15 West/Bud Light knocked off Coors Light/Oxford Bar 17-2 and took command of first place with a 3-1 mark.
Coors Light/Oxford Bar struggled behind a team batting average of .381 in the game that ended after the fifth inning.
Tammy Boles of 15 West/Bud Light moved up two spots and is first in the individual batting averages, batting .800.
Shari Brenna went 5-5 when NMH knocked off Hometown Video last week and made her first appearance in the top eight, batting .722.
While Master Sports has yet to lose, Hometown Video in the women's league and Hi-Liners in the men's fast-pitch league have yet to win a game.
Hometown Video has been outscored 112-17 throughout its games, while Hi-Liners have been outscored 72-17.
