The Beach Bums (7-1) have moved into first place in the 18AAA league with an 11-8 victory over the Royals, who were playing the second game of the day.  Earlier, the Royals had defeated the tough luck Brewers in a terrific pitcher's duel 3-1.  Both games are played at the Santaluces Complex in Lantana.  

Chamos shut out the Rockhounds 4-0 behind Jonathan Martinez and Gustavo Lopez, who combined for a three hitter at Seminole Palms Park in Royal Beach.  The loss was the first of the season for the Hounds (6-0-1) who dropped down to the runnerup spot.  Chamos, two time league champions, are 5-2-1, still in fourth place but only a game and a quarter out of first.  Also at Seminole Palms, the Leones scored seven first inning runs, but had to hold on for an 8-7 victory over the White Sox.  Leones (6-2) hold down third place, only a game out of first.  

The Pirates got another great pitching performance from Jason Plocek, with a solid two inning relief job by Damon Gammons to blank the Sugar Kings 4-0 at Dyer Park in Riviera Beach.  Plocek went seven, Gammons the last two as the 18AA leaders improved to 8-0, the only perfect team in either league.  Earlier, the Mariners mauled the Marlins 18-6, scoring eleven unanswered runs after the Marlins had pulled to within 7-6.  The victory, coupled with a loss by the Rangers, pushed the Mariners up from fifth place to second with a 5-3 record, while the Marlins dropped back to .500 at 4-4, but retained fifth place.  

At West Boynton Park in sububan Lake Worth, the previously winless Braves (1-7) rode the strong pitching of Will Ford to an 8-2 upset win over the Rangers, the third straight loss for the Rangers, who dropped from second place to a third/fourth place tie with the Sugar Kings at 4-3-1.  In the other game at West Boynton, the Dodgers broke open a close game with a six run sixth inning, en route to a 14-4 win over the first year Tigers.
