Northern Mix is eliminated from the playoffs despite their offense coming alive and pounding out fifteen hits in the game.  They also flashed the leather with great defense by 2^nd baseman Ha’ane Taitano and leftfielder Edward turning in rally killing plays.

The Lady Ranger’s Keah Rae Flores was 3 for 3 including an rbi single in the huge 6^th inning to claim Strike Zone Player of the Game.  Teammates Paulette Nededog and Dirige added two hits each.  Every player in the Lady Rangers lineup reached base and scored a run as they advance to take on #3 Lady Adahi in another elimination game Wednesday night 7pm at Leo Palace Resort.
