CYCLONES PROVE THEY'RE NOT ONE HIT WONDERS
ATLANTIC CITY - The New Jersey Cyclones lead the AL East by three games over the NY Yankees, proving the defending World Series champs are poised to repeat their success from last season.

CONTENDERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
BALTIMORE - The Baltimore Orioles are very much in the race for the AL South this season, behind a revamped lineup featured many of the players the club acquired at the end of last season. The O's are tied with Texas and Oregon for the best record in baseball.
GIANTS BACK ON TOP
SAN FRANCISCO - The Giants have endured losing seasons each of the past five years, but have vaulted to the top of the NL West so far this season, behind the bat of Ken Griffey, Jr., who has seven homers and the "Danish Sensation"
Orval Hajek who was acquired in the off-season. He's done nothing other than hit .484 with 24 homers and 71 RBI in just 81 games. "Orval is amazing." said Giants hitting coach Bobby Bonds. "I'm just in awe of the way he plays. I can't imagine why they let him go," he added.
