No. 2-seeded Bread & Butter knocked top-seeded 300 East Main Street for a loop with a 20-8 decision Thursday to send the regular-season winners into the elimination bracket of Carrboro Co-Rec Softball’s post-season tournament.

In other games last week, Southern Rail staved off elimination with a 14-7 win over 2nd Wind and Ghost Riders won 16-4 to knock fourth-seeded Fightin’ Squids out of the , double-elimination tournament.

The No. 3-seeded Ghost Riders will play No. 5 Southern Rail at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Anderson Park. The loser is eliminated and the winner will advance to face 300 East Main in a final elimination game at 8:10 p.m.

The winner of that last game Tuesday advances to play Bread & Butter at 7 p.m. Thursday. If B&B wins, it cinches the championship; if B&B loses the 7 p.m. game, both teams would have one loss and a second game would follow immediately to decide the champion.
