At press time the Farmers Insurance team managed by Gary Hillabolt and sponsored by the Frank Margiotta Agency, were off to an 8-0 start in our fall league. That was good enough for a three-game lead over the Real Estate Rustlers, managed and sponsored by Jim Leckner. Roger Wisslead and John Whitman were the early batting leaders, both slugging at over a .800 clip. Check out our website at www.sunlakessoftball.com for up-to-date standings and other information.

Our Lady Sluggers team will begin practice soon. League play begins in January. They play other area teams in the Valley of the Sun League. See the Ladies Page on our website for more information.
