PVBL: Deadwood Outlaws
Outlaws Magic Number Stays At One

September 28, 1999

The Montreal Royals have stayed alive in the McCoy Division race with a 5-4 win over the Outlaws. Juan Samuel blasted two homers off of Outlaw starter Mark Leiter (6-6) in the victory.

With five games remaining, the Outlaws still have a five game lead on the Royals, who will have to win all their remaining games and hope that the Outlaws lose all five to force a one game playoff.

The Outlaws, who have been playing it's backup players the last handfull of games, will start it's regulars in an attempt to win the division outright.
