Tucson was 13-6 in the month, moving into sole possession of first place.

Douglas was also 13-6, moving above .500 for the first time during the season and into second place.

Flagstaff went 11-8, remaining in third place. Despite falling off a bit after April, they have still positioned themselves for a chance at a second half run.

Nogales fell apart in June, going 4-15. They fell out of first place for the first time during the season.

Florence went 9-10, struggling in their quest to get back to .500 or better.

Phoenix Dust Devils 30-30 4.5 GB
Prescott Timberwolves 25-35 9.5 GB

Glendale only went 5-13 in June, but because they had built a big lead, held only first place in the conference at the end of the month.

Phoenix went 10-9 to reach an even .500 on the season.

Prescott went 10-9 but still lags far behind.
