May was a tough month for the team on the injury front after they lost star Third Baseman Denny Lyons mid month with a hamstring strain. He will be out for 3 weeks. They also lost Right Fielder John Cahill towards the end of the month for 2 weeks with a foot contusion.
With only 9 wins it is no surprise that the players performances were in the dumps. With this fact we will not be highlighting any stars this month.
