NALB - August 2008
October 16, 2009 Filed in: Baseball
With one month to go in the regular season, three divisions appear to be pretty much decided already. The magic numbers are as follows: Brooklyn Knights (1), Cornfield Axemen (6), Stade Maples (10), and Phoenix Rattlers (20). The Rattlers are fighting the Vancouver Wild, who are but 7 games back. Perhaps the best race of all is between Brooklyn and Cornfield for the top record in the league. This will be important for home field advantage in the playoffs.
Injuries continued to plague the Brooklyn Knights. Michael Duhon, Rip Sukeforth, Jeromy Bezanson, and Gary Mccreery all suffered injuries in August.
