The division leaders from April continued to play well enough remain in first place with one exception. The Dunedin Otters failed to keep pace with the red hot Luisville Beasts. Luisville's 24-4 record in May made them the clear #1 team in the latest NALB power rankings. The Beasts have the most formidable lineup and top scoring offense in either league. Their pitching is almost as good, however. Luisville starter Noel Trevenot was named League 1's Pitcher of the Month. Ralph Kerfoot earned League 2's Pitcher of the Month honors. Unfortunately, the veteran starter suffered a torn biceps during his final start of the month for the Rattlers. Offensively, Mabon Beniniger and Aramis Jáquez are tearing up the leaderboards with their hitting stats. Both players have people talking about possible triple crown seasons.
