In May, the Knights, Axemen, and Sky Chiefs stayed atop their respective divisions. Vancouver faded and was unable to stop the surging Phoenix Rattlers as they grabbed the division lead.

The Brooklyn Knights had a successful month despite several key injuries. Yale Burns fractured his elbow and is expected to be out five months. Greg Young ruptured a finger tendon on his pitching hand and will miss three to four months. Backing up Yale Burns was Carlos Cardenas until Cardenas fractured a rib. That injury should keep Cardenas out of action for four weeks.
