NALB - August 2017

The Brooklyn Knights had a bit of a rough patch in August, losing 6 out of 7 games over one stretch. They finished the month at 15-12. Brooklyn’s lead over Dayton remains a comfortable 13 games. Likewise, the Luisville Beasts cooled off as well. They played .500 baseball in August with a 14-14 record. The Beasts are still 12.5 games ahead of the Firecats. After setting a blistering pace in June and July with a 37-17 record, the Key West Corals struggled mightily in August. Their 11-16 August record allowed the Maples and Sky Chiefs to stay within 4 and 4.5 games respectively. The League 2 Division 2 crown is very much up for grabs with all teams within 5 games of each other.
