The Owen Sound Baysox continue to lead the North Dufferin Baseball League with a first-place finish in the standings after 16 games.

With a 14-2 record, the Baysox are six points ahead of the second-place New Lowell Knights. The Owen Sound teams are on a six-game winning streak and haven’t lost a game since June 1.

The Baysox are the defending Strother Cup champions, having won the cup last season.

New Lowell has an 11-4 record at the end of the weekend and 22 points, good for second place.

In the number three spot, the Ivy Rangers are doing well with a 10-5-1 record and 21 points so far for the season.

They are followed by the Lisle Astros, who are banking on a 9-7-1 record.

In the middle of the pack this year, the Bolton Brewers, Midland Mariners, Creemore Padres, and Barrie Angels are separated by five points. Bolton has 19, Midland has 17, and both Creemore and Barrie each have 15 points.

Rounding out the field, the Orillia Majors are in ninth place, followed by the Clarksburg Blues, the Mansfield Cubs, and the Caledon Cardinals.

There’s going to be a wild effort from the bottom teams this year as they try to gain some wins to make the 8th seed playoff spot.

Caledon can’t make the playoffs even if they win all the games they have left on the schedule. Mansfield would have to win their remaining games and hope the other lower seed teams lose all of theirs, so it isn’t likely that Mansfield will be in the playoffs this year.

Clarksburg has a slim chance, but is unlikely to make the eighth playoff seed.

The NDBL regular season wraps up on July 27, before going into the playoffs.
