                                EL CENTRO —&nbsp;Baseball season for Imperial Valley League (IVL) and Desert League (DL) is pretty much a wrap with minor wrinkles to be ironed out having two games remaining in league play. Below is a breakdown of how things are shaping up for both leagues going into the final week of conference play.IVL&nbsp;Southwest is currently 5-2 in IVL play and is in the driver conference standings. The Eagles have two more games remaining on schedule and can clinch first place in IVL with one more victory. After falling to Calexico in the first game of the Petco series, the Eagles bounced back to win the next two contests over the Bulldogs. In their series versus Holtville, Southwest has already won game-one 14-10. The Eagles will play game-two Tuesday, May 5 at Holtville.&nbsp;Calexico is 4-3 in league action and still has a mathematical shot at ending the regular season with the best record in IVL. With two games remaining on schedule, Calexico could potentially win out but would need Southwest to fall apart down the stretch and lose the final two games. If that scenario occurred, the Bulldogs would end at 6-3 and the Eagles at 5-4. The Bulldogs beat Brawley 11-5 in game-one of their final series. Game-two will take place at Brawley Tuesday, May 7.Brawley has a conference record of 3-4 and also has a minute chance at battling for a top spot in IVL but needs a lot of help from all over the place. With two games slated in league play the Wildcats could potentially win out and end with the same or better record than Calexico and or the same record as Southwest. The aforementioned scenario could only be possible if the roof caved in on the Bulldogs and Eagles and they lost their remaining slated contests. Brawley fell to Calexico in game-one of their final series and will host Calexico in game-two Tuesday, May 7. &nbsp;Holtville currently is 2-5 in league play and still has an integral role in IVL standings. The Vikings have an opportunity to fight for a strong regular season resume and play spoiler at the same time. If the Eagles win their final two games and Calexico drops their final two contests, Holtville could potentially end with the same record as Calexico. Holtville could also impact Calexico’s and Southwest’s battle for first place with a win or two in their final series. Holtville lost 14-10 to the Eagles in game-one of the final series and will voyage to El Centro to take on Southwest Tuesday, May 7. &nbsp;&nbsp;DLImperial is still undefeated in DL play at 6-0 and has already clinched first place in the conference in a sensational fashion. The Tigers are riding an 11-game win streak that started in pre-season play. Imperial has won some close contests as the competition in DL is extremely gritty but has managed to sweep the opposition every time thus far in conference play. Even if the Tigers lose out no one else could catch Imperial because they are too far ahead. The Tigers will face Calipatria in game two of their final series Tuesday, May 7.Palo Verde’s league record is 3-4 and is in a battle for second place after sweeping their first series versus Calipatria but then falling three in a row to Imperial in their proceeding series. The Yellow Jackets dropped their first game of the series to Central 4-3 but can find redemption in their last two games. Palo Verde is slated to host Central for game two Tuesday, May 5.Central is 4-3 in conference action and has a legitimate shot at controlling second place in league play with two games left of schedule. Central had a rare non-conference game during DL play versus San Ysidro but still managed to sweep Calipatria 3-0. In game one of their final series against Palo Verde, the Spartans defeated them 4-3. Central will play game two at Palo Verde, Tuesday, May 7.&nbsp;Calipatria has had a rough go this season with a listed conference record of 0-5. The Hornets have yet to chalk up a dub in league play but can still end on a good note with two games remaining on schedule. Calipatria will face the Tigers at home Tuesday, May 7 then end their regular season at Imperial, Friday, May 9.&nbsp;
