July recap: Division leaders
Lager League - Pilsner Division: Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot - familiar territory for most of the squad, Weyerbacher takes a huge 18 game division lead into August. Starting pitcher Mike Ferguson, acquired in the offseason as a free agent, is certainly glad he made the move. Prior to this season, his career record was 17-32 with no post season appearances. This season, he is 9-1 with a 2.62 ERA and 108 strikeouts, and well on his way to playoff baseball with the Blithering Idiot.
Lager League - Kolsch Division: Scorched Earth Giant Killer - despite their mediocre 13-11 month of July, Scorched Earth kept their lead in the division by a slim 3 games. Slugger Jorge Reynoso is leading the team in power with his 35 home runs, looking to break his career best of 41 from last season.
Lager League - Helles Division: Ballast Point Commodores - Ballast Point enjoys an 11.5 game lead in the division as the season heads into August. Starting pitcher Liam Guerin, acquired as a free agent in the off season, continues to do his part to help his new club to a division crown with his 12-2 record and 2.24 ERA
Lager League - Tripel Division: Meadowlark Mob Barley - hoping for their first division crown, Meadowlark holds a 3.5 game lead with two months remaining in the regular season. Slugger Iestyn Lawrence is having a career year, with 26 home runs, 91 RBIs and a .343 average to this point.
Stout League - Porter Division: Terrapin Hopsecutioner - Blake Miller is proving what he can do from the mound with a solid team behind him, as he takes a 13-2 record with a 1.46 ERA into August, as he helps his new club towards their fourth straight division title. Designated hitter Kyle Jones, acquired in the offseason, is having a career year as well with 24 home runs, 86 RBIs and a .372 average
Stout League - Dunkel Division: Four Hands Typhon / Sleeping Giant Beaver Duck - in a two team race to decide a division crown and potentially who gets a wild card spot, Four Hands and Sleeping Giant share the Dunkel division lead heading into August.
Stout League - Eisbock Division: Russian River Blind Pig - the recent acquisition of slugger Jorge Zamarripa (39 home runs, 88 RBIs, .305 average) have greatly increased Russian River's chances of claiming their first division crown.
Stout League - Altbier Division: Tattered Flag Man of War - it's a team effort to keep the Man of War atop the division, as they don't have anyone among the league leaders in any offensive or defensive category.
