June 1894
England - First Division

5 series remain, and Preston North End have overtaken Wolverhampton in the standings! A 15-9-3 month propels them to the top, with their offense being the motor. CF Harold Jones was the best hitter for them this month, slashing .389/.448/.584, and driving in 22 runs. Their pitching is still not the best, but having a huge run support did wonders for a rotation that included lefty Douggie Murray (2-3, 3.16 ERA, 1.68 WHIP this month). Preston will face Burton (H), Bolton (A), Derby (H), Blackburn (A) and West Bromwich (H) as the season winds down.

Wolverhampton's inconsistent month (they were 13-12-2) sees them fall to second place. Their offense has slowed down greatly, and their pitching couldn't keep up. SS Aidan Jackson was great however, hitting for .453/.527/.579 but his 11 RBI this month show what a struggle it's been for the Wolves to get the offense going in June. On the mound, Daniel Perrin continues to be great through 11 starts this month! Perrin went 7-4, including 7 complete games and 2 shutouts. The 36 year old had a 3.26 ERA and 1.31 WHIP this month. Wolverhampton will face Aston Villa (A), Burton (H), Burnley (A), Bolton (H) and Manchester City (A) in the season finale.

Everton have come close to a championship 3 times: by 1.5 games in 1888, and just a half game both in 1889 and 1893. This year they are just 1.5 games back once more, and their offense is firing on all cylinders. Could the likes of LF Julian Bryant, who hit .414/.444/.568 this month, and RHP Oscar Swan, who held a 3.20 ERA and 1.63 WHIP this month, take them to their first title? The Toffees will face Blackburn (H), West Brom (H), Sheffield United (A), Notts County (H) and Aston Villa (A) in their final series.

At the other end of the table, Rotherham Town are mathematically unable to escape the test matches. Sheffield United and Grimsby will try to correct their course and avoid the drop at all costs.

Scotland - Division One

Rangers win their second Scottish League title! It is their second consecutive title. Winning the series against Dundee was enough for them to win it all once again. The Glasgow outfit were the second best offense in the league, with 3B Douglas Gilbert (.408/.449/.634, 35 RBI) participating in every game. The likes of LF Graeme Noyce (.353/.415/.444, 38 RBI) and 1B Fraser Buchan (.372/.429/.414, 18 RBI) also made positive contributions. Their rotation was the 2nd best in the league, with the club allowing just over 4 runs per game on average. RHP Benjamin Boyd (3.45 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) was their best pitcher, followed by RHP Joshua Hills (3.91 ERA, 1.54 WHIP) and RHP Andrew McPherson (4.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP). They are talented enough and ambitious enough to go for the threepeat in 1895.

Dundee were relegated to Division Two after a woeful season of just 18 wins. A three game skid at the end was the difference between them and Celtic.

The Player of the Year award went to Rangers 3B Douglas Gilbert. The 30 year old Englishman earns his third award (1890, 1893, 1894. This year Dougie was 5th in OBP and WAR (3), 4th in hits (87) and stolen bases (43), 2nd in average, and led the league in doubles (20), triples (14), and slugging (.634).

Scotland - Division Two

After losing just 8 games and drawing 1 all season, Abercorn are Division Two champions and have earned promotion to Division One! St. Bernard's RF Logan Weir took home the Player of the Year trophy after having a .402/.484/.662 season with 14 doubles, 11 triples, 7 homers and 48 RBI.
