After a 2-5 start, Mesa won 4 of the next games, leading into a battle with playoff favorite Oklahoma.

Mesa seemingly turned its season around with a sweep over the Outlaws, before going 2-4 against other top teams (Salt Lake and Space City). With a lot of underperformance going around, Mesa hosted rival Sin City at home ... and dropped all 3 games in defeating fashion.

You cannot win a division in April, but you can certainly lose one, and it appeared Mesa was heading in that direction before finishing off April with a 4 game winning streak.

Mesa finished the month with a record of 15-13 and in 3rd place.

I didn't get the Acquire an AllStar achievement for trading for Jamez, because he somehow did not make the AS team despite being 2nd in voting for CF and putting up a .332-19-64 first half, producing 4.7 WAR in the process.

Sin City, seemingly giving up on the playoff chase put their closer on the trading block and I acquired him at the trading deadline. The "All In" season continues. Somehow the fans still are not all that interested. CL Ruguru will be a free agent at the end of the season.
