The Brooklyn Knights went 17-10 in June. The last two weeks of the month showed the Knights at their best with a 9-2 record. Brooklyn extended its lead once again over Las Vegas and Dayton. The Knights biggest concern heading into the second half of the season is injuries. Third baseman John Ruben was hit by a pitch and suffered a broken thumb. He is expected back in mid-July. Left fielder Syman Lowery is battling a serious hamstring strain. He will probably miss all of July and August.

In June, the Luisville Beasts and Stade Maples maintained their respective division leads but the Richmond Slam were overtaken by the Vancouver Wild.
