The Mudcats won two out of three games against the Knights at the end of June to pull ahead of Brooklyn by a game. After losing José Arisa for the season in May, the Knights suffered another major injury in June. Starter Porfírio Portio will miss the rest of the year after partially tearing his ulnar collateral ligament. The Dunedin Otters played well enough to take over the division lead from the Nashville Firecats. In League 2, the Allies and Crusaders maintained their respective division leads.
