After the first month of the season, the Brooklyn Knights hold a precarious division lead of half a game over the Dayton Grizzlies. Some inconsistent play led to a 15-11 record. A herniated disc sent starting second baseman Flavio Marquez to the injured list but backup Pedro Lopez played well in his place.The Beasts and Otters were expected to battle for first place in League 1 Division 2. They are currently tied with 17-10 records. The Key West Corals played .500 ball but it was good enough to lead their division. With an NALB best 20-7 record to start the season, the Vancouver Wild looked as good as any team.
