Already going past the midway point in the North Dufferin Baseball League season, the standings are shaping up in the Senior Division with a new leader at the top of the heap.

The Ivy Leafs have moved into first place in the League eclipsing the New Lowell Knights by a single point after gaining one point on a tie game.

The Knights were leading all season until the Leafs moved ahead over the weekend but it’s still a tight battle for the top spot.

Midland is in the number three spot with a 13-4-0 record and 26 points so aren’t far off from moving up if they have a couple of wins behind them.

The Clearview Orioles are close behind with 22 points and an 11-6 record.

They are followed by the Aurora Jays in fifth place with a 10-6 record and 20 points so far.

The Orangeville Giants have been slowly gaining all season but have had an up and down type of year, winning a few then losing a few, but they are still doing well placing in the number six spot in the 14 team League.

In seventh place, the Creemore Barons are right in the middle of the pack with an 8-8 record. They had a good run recently winning their last four games.

The Mansfield Cubs continue to struggle this season after taking a loss to the Aurora Jays on Sunday, June 26, on the diamond at Mansfield.

The Cubs have recorded only one game on the plus side this season but continue to play well and have put up a real good effort in every outing this year.

The Cubs were back on their home diamond in Mansfield on Wednesday night, June 29, with results not available at press time.

They will travel to Clearview on Sunday, July 3, to take on the Orioles.

The Senior Cubs will return to Mansfield on Wednesday, July 6, to host the Nobleton Cornhuskers.

Game time is 6.30 p.m.
