Regular Season Finale
Lions and Leopards Clinch Pennant
Hopestars and Dragons Miss Out on the Dance
The 2007 CBL regular season has entered its eighth and final weekend. After this round, the top
two teams from each division will move on to the quarterfinals next week. As long as the Tianjin team
does not give up two games and the Beijing team does not sweep the Wuxi squad, Tianjin will win
the Northern division and face off against Shanghai next week, and Beijing will take second and play
the winners of the South, the Guangdong Leopards, at home next week. With Tianjin hosting the
Eagles this week, it almost seems like a warm-up for next week’s action.

【Tianjin area’s game scene】
Tianjin faced the Eagles at home this week, and easily swept the
young Shanghai team behind the stellar pitching of Lv Jiangang
and Zhang Yunfeng, who are ranked 1 and 3 in pitching stats this
year. In addition, Tianjin stalwarts Wang Chao and Meng
Zhaopeng, who also rank among the highest in the CBL offensive
leaderboard, provided reliable offense, helping the Lions claim
three straight: 3-1, 11-10, and 14-8.
【Guangzhou area’s game scene】
Though the Leopards had the division comfortably locked up,
their three-game set against the Sichuan Dragons game them an
opportunity to sharpen their tools for the post-season. However, in
the Saturday game, the Sichuan team came alive behind the
pitching of Chen Kun and Zhu Wanyun to produce 20 hits and
give them a 14-4 victory. In the Friday and Sunday games, though,
the Guangdong team displayed their power, and bested the
Sichuan team both offensively and defensively, with scores of 8-1
and 11-1.
【Wuxi area’s game scene】
Though the Hopestars had no hope of making the
postseason, they sent their best to the field in an effort to
reach their fourth victory, a milestone they set before the
season. Their efforts fell short, however, and they lost all
three, with scores of 1-4, 3-6, and 2-5.
With that, the 2007 CBL regular season came to an end. In the north, the Tianjin team accumulated
a total of 26 points to claim first, with the Tigers coming in second, and the Sichuan team in third with
14 points. In the Southern division, Guangdong took first by a longshot with 24 points, with the
Eagles trailing with 14 points, and the bottom-dwelling Hopestars finishing last with 6 points and
three victories.
In next week’s games, the best of the north will take on the second of the south in a best of five
series, and the best of the south will take on the second best of the north. June 9th is the start – with
the Tigers hosting the Leopards for two games in Beijing, and the Eagles will have two at home
against the Lions. The first to three victories wins the series, and each team will put their best on the
field, with their eyes on the prize of becoming 2007 CBL champs.
