**Quick Hitter**

Next week will be the first League Poll of the 2017 season. Each team will need to vote on the poll and will not be able to set their lineup for that week until they have voted! This poll was scheduled to drop this week, although with the importance of this being a Double Header weekend I did not want teams having any trouble setting their lineups. Please keep this in mind and if you have any issues voting on the poll next week don’t hesitate to contact me! 🙂
