July standings:

Lager League: Pilsner Division - Tree House Tornado - riding a 5 game winning streak to the top of the division, Tree House is using a solid offensive game to power their run (2nd in runs scored, 5th in batting average, 2nd in stolen bases) as well as a solid zone rating for their defense (2nd ranked at +22.7); they hope their pitching can come around to balance out their approach as they get ready for the dog days of summer.

Lager League: Kolsch Division - continuing their scorching pace of scoring runs (1st in the league at 428), despite a less than stellar batting average (18th ranked at .185); the Giant Killers are using their scoring prowess backed by a solid performance from their pitching staff (1st in starters ERA, 3rd in bullpen ERA) to hold a solid 10 game lead in the division.

Lager League: Helles Division - Ballast Point continues to use their balanced approach (top ranked in average, 3rd in runs scored; 6th in runs against, 4th in starters ERA) to maintain their grip on the Helles division lead.

Lager League: Tripel Division - despite a 5 game skid to end the month, Great Raft holds onto a slim 1.5 game lead in the division. Powered by DH Josh Zuiker (.283 average, 28 home runs 67 RBIs) and ace starter Jason Opatz (12-4, 1.84 ERA, 148 K), they hope to right the raft heading into August to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

Stout League: Porter Division - a 5 game win streak for Terrapin combined with a 6 game skid for Crooked Crab help propel the Hopsecutioner into the division lead to end the month.

Stout League: Dunkel Division - bolstered by the power game of right fielder (and All-Star weekend home run derby champ) Sergio Araujo (35 home runs, 91 RBIs), Chafunkta hopes to ride that power game as long as they can.

Stout League: Eisbock Division - in a tight race (with 4 teams within 2 games of the lead), Prairie Sun clings to a half game lead as we head into August. Powered by a league leading home run game (1st ranked with 172), the Mad Hopper squad hopes to continue to blast their way to a division title and a post season berth.

Stout League: Altbier Division - Odious Cellars Rubied Perspective and Tattered Flag Man of War share the top spot in the division. Tattered Flag
going with a balance approach (3rd in runs scored, 5th in runs against, 1st in on base pct, 2nd in zone rating); while Odious Cellars is scoring runs (7th ranked) despite an anemic batting average (17th ranked at .175); when they do get on base, they make the most of their running game (4th ranked base running; 5th ranked stolen bases).
