Barcelona started 10-24 and fired their manager and GM in early May.
Budapest played two 17 inning games and one 19 inning game in May.
Madrid were in contention, then finished May on a 3-15 run.
Helsinki won 19 of 21 at the end of May-start of June.
Current runs before All-Star break: Zurich 5-18, Prague 4-14, Vienna 14-4.

Player Notes -

LF Theo Brittain (Brussels) carried a .600 batting average into the second half of April. Unsurprisingly he was named as WL Batter of the Month, finishing at .464, with 7 homers, 26 RBIs and a ridiculously paltry 1 strikeout.
Javier Ramirez (Athens) threw the league's first ever no-hitter in a 9-0 win over the Berlin Dragons on 22nd April. It was his first ever win, raising his record to 1-4.
LF Aristo Fotiadis (Sofia) won the April EL Batter of the Month award with a .303/11/38 stat line. The pitching awards went to - WL: Gerd Buchert (London), 4-0/1.38 - EL: Bart Taft (Oslo), 4-1/2.75.
1B Athan Paniotis (Budapest) got himself traded away from Athens after less than a month of the season, but a week later he went 6 for 6 against the Stockholm Lumberjacks.
Austrian SP Helmuth Siepel (Athens) tosses the league's second ever no-hitter on 12th May against Prague, winning 3-0 and striking out 18 in the process.
SS Pacu Todorovic (Barcelona) hits the EBL's first ever cycle in a 14 inning game against Brussels on 16th May.
#1 overall draft pick Malcolm Kennedy (Paris) was named the WL's pitcher of the month for May, with a 5-0 record and a 2.34 ERA. The Eastern League's winner was Robert Wood (Stockholm), who went 6-1 with a 1.76 ERA.
The monthly batting awards went to the same teams as April's, but to different players. Brussels RF Aras Tansel went .418 with 5 homers and 33 RBIs. Sofia 1B Francis Gautier was .436 for the month with 6 blasts and 35 RBIs.
LF Jose Roman (Vienna) gets the EBL's second cycle on 3rd June. Again an extra inning game, with Roman's 3-run homer winning it for the Armageddon in the 11th against Amsterdam.
Swiss RF Jorg Theusen (Barcelona) has the league's first ever 3 home run game on 14th June. He had 7 RBI in a 11-7 win over Amsterdam.
LF Eskil 'Mr Reliable' Junge (London) hits for the cycle on 18th June against Lisbon in a 12 inning game. A day later he is 3/3 for with 2 home runs, but the Crocs still manage to lose both games to the Renegades.

Significant Injuries -

Zurich's first round pick 1B Lukas Stoger missed 6 weeks from early May until the All-Star break.
Glasgow's closer Clement Mounier will miss the rest of the season with a herniated disc. Before his injury on June 19th he had 24 saves in 25 opportunities and an ERA of 1.91.
