Well we ended May on a bit of a sour note today with our first four rainouts of the season, but other than that the weather has been amazing after a very long winter, and the baseball was fantastic.
Like the last couple of years offense continues to dominate the league with some very high scoring games. There were 46 home runs in the month of May in 44 games, so roughly 1 per game. Pitchers need to figure it out! We unfortunately also saw 3 games forfeited due to waivers which is tough to see, especially when every game matters so much in the standings. Let’s hope we don’t see anymore.
The White Sox have taken the early pole position courtesy their offense as they lead the league in most offensive categories. There is a lot of baseball left but they look tough thus far. The Dinos meanwhile have not played a single game yet, so with college season now over look to see them at the ballpark a lot in June. Lastly, there is going to be a battle for the final playoff position as the standings look like a bit of a logjam right now.
And now for your Studs of the Month. Just like last year, we have two sponsors Papi Sunglasses, and Calgary Septic and Water, both local businesses. Big thank you to them! The biggest offensive and pitching “studs” will receive a pair of shades to show off.
