The Knights had a rough May. It took two wins to close out the month to bring Brooklyn back to .500 in May with a 14-14 record. Poor play on the road has been Brooklyn’s problem this season, going 12-15 away from home. The Knights have a fragile one game lead over the Mudcats heading into June.

Richmond’s Tony Rodarte had been destroying opposing pitchers all season long until going to the DL on May 13 with a herniated disc in his neck. At first, the Slam stayed hot even without Rodarte in the lineup. His absence in the lineup eventually caught up with the team, however, as Richmond lost eight of its last nine games to finish the month.
