Leigh 4, Sobrato 3
Sobrato did all it could to come back against Leigh, trailing 2-0 at the half.
The Bulldogs netted three goals in the second half to tie the game and looked to be on their way to an upset tie against the first place Longhorns despite giving up a third goal to Leigh.
Sobrato, however, yielded a goal late in the game and couldn’t find the equalizer to lose, 4-3.
Had the Bulldogs tied, it would have further given Live Oak a better chance at stealing the Mt. Hamilton Division title.
With the win, Leigh needs a tie against Branham to claim at least a share of the league title and a win to capture it outright.
Leigh could still capture an outright win with a tie with a Live Oak tie or loss.
Branham could capture an outright title if it beats Leigh and Live Oak loses or ties. Branham would share the title with a win if Live Oak wins.
