AUGUST 19, 2008 --

Playoffs continued August 14 at the Heckscher softball fields in Central Park.

LPR saw Hair defeat Cry Baby, 7 - 3 (LPR erroneously reported, last posting that Hair did not have a team this season.) ; Lion King beat Gypsy, 9-5; Mary Poppins trounced Sunday in the Park, 13 - 4; and Jersey Boys defeated Little Mermaid, 17- 14.

LPR got an image of Little Mermaid's left fielder, Jeff Markowitz, just after he made a terrific running catch, and snapped a play at home plate involving Lion King (in white) and Gypsy (in blue). Is the Lion King player safe at home?

These softball fields are at the southwest corner of Central Park, in a midtown setting that is quite impressive.

Some of the teams that played in the morning, including Mary Poppins and Lion King played a second game in the afternoon. For all BSL results, August 14, please click the LPR link to the league.

Semi-finals are scheduled for August 21; the championship game, August 28.
