Team B has a run differential of: -5, +8 = +3
Team C has a run differential of: +5, -1= +4
Team C is declared the winner (+4) and Team B (+3) is declared runner up. If the remaining
two teams that are still tied for qualifying spot, tie breaker will revert back to #2 see above.
————————————————————————————————-
