June recap: Division leaders

Lager League-Pilsner Division: Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot - solid pitching from Gustavo Gutierrez (7-4, 2.86 ERA, 91 K) and Danny Ibarra (7-3, 2.44 ERA, 66 K), and offensive production from Jorge Reynoso (18 home runs, 69 RBIs), Alex Madrigal (12 home runs, 49 RBIs) and Mitch Chandler (11 home runs, 45 RBIs, .311 avg) have Weyerbacher atop the division as they are accustomed to be by fans and opponents alike.

Lager League-Kolsch Division: Charleville Half Wits - an impressive 19-8 month of June has Charleville leading the division. Youngster Joey Johnson (23) is having a breakout year, only 1 win off his career high (currently 7-2 with a 1.90 ERA); and long time Half Wit Daryl Hussey continues to rack up the career stats for the club, leading Charleville in total games played (1576), hits (1747) and home runs (139).

Lager League-Helles Division: Waikiki Jalapeno Mouth / Sierra Nevada Narwhals - a four game losing streak has Waikiki below the .500 mark and in a tie with Sierra Nevada for the division lead. Only 4 games separate first place from last place in the division.

Lager League-Tripel Division: Texas Leaguer Chin Music despite a sub-par 11-14 month of June, Texas Leaguer still holds a slim 2 game lead in the division. Left fielder Ray Hagerty is doing his best to keep the club on the winning side, leading the club in home runs (16), RBIs (48) and average (.295)

Stout League-Porter Division: Three Floyds Apocalypse Cow - consistent play has given Three Floyds a comfortable 8 game lead in the division after three months of play. The youth starter pack of Ben Troyer (10-2, 1.91 ERA), Theo Jackson (6-1, 2.41 ERA) and Alex Jovel (7-0, 3.24 ERA) are playing more like a trio of grizzled veterans to carry the club to this point.

Stout League-Dunkel Division: Jester King Das Wunderkind - at 56-25 (.691) Jester King enjoys the best record in the entire Beer League and a 12 game lead in the division. A high powered offense is the key to their success, leading the league in runs scored (416), batting average (.286), on base pct (.342), OPS (.770), batting WAR (17.2), and stolen bases (51)

Stout League-Eisbock Division: Smog City Sabre Toothed Squirrels - it might be the year of the 23 year old, as another youngster starter, Jeff Lange (23), is having a breakout year. Lange is currently 5-0, with a 2.01 ERA and 47 Ks; giving top starter Clint Willey (5-1, 2.34 ERA) some backup in the rotation.

Stout League-Altbier Division: Thimble Island Kraken / Stony Creek Crankenstein - a 3 game losing streak by Stony Creek to end the month was enough to drop them back into a tie for the division lead with the Kraken. Both teams sit at exactly .500, so the division waits for one of the 5 teams to assert themselves and grab the crown.

Milestone watch:

A handful of batters approaching some career milestones. In career hits, Miguel Ochoa and Vince Schaefer are in a tight race to see who will be the first hitter in Beer League history to reach 2000 hits. Ochoa trailed Schaefer by 20 hits earlier in the season, so he's been on a hot streak.

For home runs, Rico Mendieta is out in front for the race to 400 career home runs (just 8 shy), but in this league you never want to count out Pablo Landeros (23 short of 400), as the 4-time MVP could rack them up in bunches.

2030 Beer League All-Star game:
