As the month of May came to a close, so did the race for the playoffs, which was now down to five teams. James looked over the attendance numbers and continued to be pleased with the crowd turnout for the young association. He also looked at the standings as of the end of May.

In the New England Region, it looked as though Yale would be repeating as champion. The Bulldogs have a seven game lead on Harvard with only seven games left to play. Harvard, however, is quite the surprise, as they are still in the running for the wild card position.

Princeton clinched the Northeast Region on May 24th, after defeating Syracuse 7-5. The Tigers have won six games in a row and are currently 43-10. The Tigers have lost starting center fielder, junior Brian de la Cruz, to a sprained elbow. He's still out for two more weeks, so he might be able to return if Princeton makes the Collegiate Championship Series. Senior left fielder Bill Stricker was rotated over to center, but he ended up being lost for the season a week later when he bruised his knee. Sophomore Elliot Holmes, a one star player from Merrimack, New Hampshire, took over in center and has been making the most of his opportunity. James wasn't sure what was in the water at Princeton, but this Holmes kid was hitting .340!!

In the Atlantic Region, Villanova has a three game lead over Lafayette College. Lafayette has a four game lead over Harvard for the wild card, but they play five of their last seven games against Villanova. With the games at Lafayette, can Villanova hang on? And if so, does Harvard take advantage of Lafayette losing and catapult themselves into the playoffs?
