NWBL News - 2007 Season Standings as of 08-05-07
 
The standings in the NEW Baseball league can significantly change with the outcome of the Sheboygan A's /Green Bay Storm game that will take place Monday night at Van den Plas Field, Green Bay Southwest High School, on Monday night Aug.06. 

The De Pere River Bandits now await the outcome of the Green Bay Storm-Sheboygan A's game Monday night to determine their seeding for the NEWBaseball League playoffs.  A Green Bay win will drop the Bandits into fifth place by virtue of tie breakers.  An A's win gives the River Bandits the fourth seed, and they would then face the Menasha Macs in a three game series.   A Sheboygan win, though, ties the A's with Appleton for 2nd place in league, and drops the Appleton Legends to the third seed.  The top two teams get first round byes in the league championship tournament.  The top seed hosts the first and third games of the series.

The NEW Baseball League teams are primarily made up of present and former college baseball players from Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota schools.
