The league title races are all but over.
Bishop Manogue is just one win from clinching the Sierra League title and Reno has mowed through the High Desert League.
The races for the No. 2 seed in both leagues are much more intriguing.
In the HDL, Spanish Springs, McQueen and Reed are all separated by one game. In the Sierra League, just two games separate Carson, Douglas, Damonte Ranch and Galena.
