Cape Hatteras, N.C. - Chalk this week up to pride.
After posting losing records for six consecutive weeks, the Carolina Flight had apparently had enough as they went 6-1. Although Carolina still lags badly in the race for the GL East Coast Division lead, it at least has climbed to within two games of .500.
And, in a mostly lost season, that’s at least something.
