STANDINGS
62-26, #1 overall, 8 games head of Philly, 8-3 in the last two weeks

BAD NEWS
-Ray Kress has been awful so far this month (.217, 1HR, 3R & 0-3, 2Ks in the all star game - very un-Kress like).
-George Young is going to miss over a month due to a pulled groin muscle.
-Matt Perly was our hottest bat this month, but then hurt him self again. He will, hopefully, be 100% again in a couple of days.
-Sandoz and Mitchell both had a bad couple of weeks, so RF was unusually unproductive.

GOOD NEWS
-Our pitching has show some minor inconsistancy lately, but for the most part has been keeping us in games as we had too many 1H, 4H, 5H games.
-On 7/4 Roland Fish was named Player of the Week hitting .474, 5HR, 9RBI.
-Seven Tiggers were named to the AllStar Team.
-Despite his age, Kitterman has shown an improved swing vs LHP. We expect to see him get hot and finish the year strong as he has in the past. Hopefully Kress will do the same hitting right behind him.
-Corky Stell is trying to get back to back POM as he went 2-0, 1.17 so far this month. He is 8-0 with 6 POG in his last 10 starts.
