The Tillsonburg ladies slo-pitch schedule wrapped up last week and playoffs will commence this week.
This year the league will not split into three divisions for playoffs. It's been decided that the top two teams in both divisions will receive first round byes. Reseeding will then take place for semifinals.
The men's league still has some rescheduled games to make up this week. Haines Roofing and Cain's Pelicans have clinched the A and C Divisions respectively. The B loop is up for grabs as Domino's Hounds can catch DeGroote-Hill if they win their last two games.
