NALB - August 2014

The Mudcats went on a terrible slide in August. Leading the division by two games at the beginning of the month, St. Rock ended August six and a half games out of first place. Although the Knights played excellent baseball in August, the Mudcats’ 11-18 record was mainly to blame for ceding the division lead. The Luisville Beasts had no problem holding onto first place, extending their lead over the Nashville Firecats to nine games.

The tightest race continues to be in League 2 Division 1. The Corals currently lead but the Sky Chiefs are only two games back while the Allies trail by three and a half games. The Richmond Slam have all but wrapped up a division crown with a thirteen game lead.
