NEARING THE ALL STAR BREAK National League - South Shore finally took a tumble, dropping 3 of 5 to Flatbush, but they still hold the NCABL's best mark at 60-21 (.741), 13 games up on Midwest. Ohio's lead in the East has grown to 8 games as the Buckeyes are 9-1 over their last 10 games. Midwest and Jersey hold the wild card spots, but Satellite Beach is just 3 games behind the Generals. American League - Hopewell and Winchester hold leads of 7 and 5 games, with Berwyn and Silver Creek holding the wild cards. Flatbush has climbed to .500, and is 1 1/2 behind the Pioneers. Brooklyn Center is a 1/2 game under .500, 2 out of the wild card, and Piedmont is a game under, 2 1/2 out. Keith Hernandez is hitting .396 to lead the NL. AL leader Paul Molitor is hitting .386.

Don Sutton, Bob Welch, Mike Norris, and Scott McGregor each have 12 wins. Don Sutton's ERA is 0.91, which makes you wonder how he lost 2 games. He has 7 shutouts, which is amazing for this era.
