NALB - June 2015

After a scorching hot start to the season, the Brooklyn Knights entered June with a 43-8 record. Brooklyn found things a bit tougher in June, going 19-9. Overall, the Knights played well. However, they were swept by the Luck in a three game series in Las Vegas. Later, they dropped all four games in Brooklyn in a series against the Cornfield Axemen. Most concerning of all were the injuries suffered at the end of the month. In the last week of June, closer Bris Clark went to the disabled list with a sore back and is expected to miss three weeks. Worst of all was the loss of star pitcher Ralph Kerfoot. After going 21-5 last year and 11-2 this year, Kerfoot will miss the rest of the 2015 season. His torn rotator cuff will require eight to nine months to heal.
