Things are looking good for the Brooklyn Knights in the standings. They finished June with a substantial lead on their divisional rivals. Unfortunately, DH Blas Ramos sprained his knee legging out a triple and will miss seven weeks. Therefore, the Knights' best hitter (for average) joins Kakuta, their best power hitter, on the Injured List. The Nashville Firecats and Dunedin Otters have been battling all season for a lead in League 1 Division 2. However, the surging Luisville Beasts may be the team to watch. They are now only a half-game out of first place. League 2 Division 1 is still a close race between the Washington Allies and the Stade Maples. In League 2 Division 2, the World Champion Vancouver Wild trail the St. James Crusaders by only one game.
