Lube Stop and Carwash took first place in the Leisure League tournament on Aug. 8, defeating the Wanna Bees 16-1 in the final game.

Earlier in the day, the Wanna Bees soaked Wellington Fire Department 12-6 and then nipped the Swingin’ Mallards 17-16 to earn second place. That put the Swingin’ Mallards in third place and Wellington Fire in fourth place for the tournament.

The Swingin’ Mallards placed second with an 8-2 record. The Wanna Bees and Wellington Fire tied with four wins and six losses each.
