In May, the Brooklyn Knights, Cornfield Axemen, and Key West Corals maintained leads atop their respective divisions. The Phoenix Rattlers, however, surrendered first place to the St. James Crusaders.

The Knights bullpen took a big hit when Jeff Ramirez was put on the disabled list May 20. He needs surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow. He is expected to miss four to five months. Ramirez had been pitching well, posting a 2-1 record with a 2.79 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 19.1 innings.
