The Beit Shemesh Blue Sox scored a 5-2 victory over the Tel Aviv Lightning Monday afternoon, enabling them to hold on to their first place standing. Pitcher Juan Feliciano finally let an earned run cross home plate but tossed a complete game while striking out nine.

At Sportek, the Modi'in Miracles made mincemeat out of the Netanya Tigers, scoring a 15-1 lopsided victory. Eight of nine starting Miracle batters had at least one hit. In the day's third game, the usually hapless Petach Tikva Pioneers upset the Ra'anana Express 9-0. Alper Ulutas from Brooklyn hurled a three-hitter.
 
The Blue Sox and Tigers are playing a double-header at Gezer Field Tuesday. The first game began at 1 p.m. and the second will start at 5 p.m. Tel Aviv and Ra'anana are to play at the same hour at Sportek, and the Pioneers host the Miracles at 7 p.m. at Yarkon Field.
