And now let's take a look at this week's match-ups:

• All Balls No Strikes (9-25-2) vs. Quincy Dirtbags (10-24-2)
• Bo Hart All Stars (15-15-6) vs. Muse Academy Muses (21-14-1)

• 7 heaven (22-13-1) vs. BJ Penn (21-14-1)
• Triple Crown (20-15-1) vs. BooBooCubs (24-10-2)
• Ferris Indians (24-10-2) vs. Sparland Hilltoppers (23-10-2)
• Anabolic A Rods (14-19-3) vs. JSloan (15-20-1)

When you consider records, there are a lot of high-quality match-ups this week.  A lot of teams with great records playing each other, and, in the same boat, a lot of teams with bad records playing each other.  This has the making to be a moving type of week, so early in the season.  Considering all the match-ups this week, the featured one this week is between division leaders, and teams with two of the best records in the league right now.  The featured match-up this week is Ferris Indians vs. Sparland Hilltoppers.

Last week's featured match-up was much closer than the previous one, with BJ Penn squeaking out a 6-5-1 record over Bo Hart All Stars.  BJ Penn took victories in hits, stolen bases, average, wins, losses, and walks.  Bo Hart All Stars took wins in runs, home runs, RBIs, Ks, and ERA.  The saves category was the only tie.

Good luck to all for another exciting week in the IFB!
