Things couldn't have gone much worse for the Brooklyn Knights to start the month of August. Down 5½ games to the Grizzlies, the Knights were an abysmal 4-11 in the first half of the month. In late August, the Knights traveled to Dayton for an important three game series against the Grizzlies. Dayton won two games out of three. Heading into September, the Grizzlies maintain a six game lead over the Knights. With a 14 game lead, the Beasts are well on their way to winning another division. Things look a bit trickier for the Maples. Their lead over the Corals has shrunk to a mere two games. The Rattlers are NALB's reigning champs and appear ready to fight to defend their title. They are back in first place and now have a two game lead in the division.
