The Deltaville Deltas won the final three games of the regular season over the past week, concluding a seven-game win streak that has propelled them into first place in the Richmond National Adult Baseball Association (NABA) standings.

A road win on Wednesday against the Yorktown Coconuts, a home victory on Saturday against the Virginia Aces, and a road win on Monday versus the Richmond Misfits moved the Deltas to an overall record of 14-2. With a league mark of 11-2, the Deltas finish just ahead of the Richmond River Dogs — Deltaville’s fourth regular season title over the past five seasons.

The Richmond NABA playoff tournament kicks off this weekend, where the top eight teams will square off in a set of single-elimination games. The Deltas will host the #8 seed Caribe Baseball on Saturday night at Deltaville Ballpark, with first pitch scheduled for 7:30 p.m. In their only matchup this year, the Deltas defeated Caribe, 2-1, on a ninth inning walk-off hit from Kevin Cole.
