There were some surprises in the first month of the 2008 NALB season. The defending champion Brooklyn Knights lost its first five games of the season. On the other hand, the St. Rock Mudcats stunned everyone with its 10-0 start. Every team had its share of player injuries. The Knights were hit particularly hard, however. By the end of April, Brooklyn’s Tracy Corkhill, Fred Millard, and Rip Sukeforth were joined on the DL by Erik Boyle, Gary Mccreery, and Andy Carpenter.
