Westford Over-30 Slow-Pitch Softball

Going into the final week of the 24-game season, Floral Arts (21-2) and the Nashoba Valley Veterinarian Mustangs (17-5) sit at the top of the standings, and each has clinched a first round playoff bye. Drew Farms (12-9) and Shortcut Landscaping (12-10) will earn either the third or fourth playoff seed, and Pro Sports Therapy (10-12) has clinched one of the last playoffs seeds, but play this week will determine whether Willis Tent (10-12) or Mario’s Restaurant (8-14) will earns the last playoff seed. Mario’s cannot catch Pro Sports Therapy because the tie-breaking scenario (head-to-head) plays in PST’s favor, but Mario’s would win the tie-breaker if they can match their record with Willis’.
