Rio has crawled back into the heart of the Roehm Division race and is now only 2.5 games back of the Jamaica Rastas. The Capys split a 2-game set with rebuilding Hong Kong, and closed the week by taking 2 of 3 from Cairo. With a soft schedule of underachieving Barnes teams on deck, we could see Jamaica and Rio juggling the top slot in the Roehm very soon.

Bora Bora’s campaign for a 3rd straight Barnes title looks promising as the Surfriders have posted a 17-5 record after 4 weeks of play. The Surfriders’ success can be attributed equally to the team’s hitting and pitching. 3B Donald Kelly leads Bora Bora with a .609 slugging percentage, while only 1 pitcher, RHP Manny Borromeo, has an ERA over 3.00.

Hong Kong parted ways with a franchise cornerstone this week, sending 3B Greg Chappell to the Bombay Elephants. Chappell, along with a 2nd rounder, was traded for SS Gerry Booth and the Elephants’ 2038 1st round pick. With Chappell’s departure, the 3-team battle for the Barnes should devolve to a one-on-one matchup: Cairo vs incumbent Bora Bora.
Sydney’s surprising 10-8 start has the Rebels firmly lodged in 2nd place, 1.5 games behind perennial leader Amity. RHP Hilly Garcia leads the pitching staff with 3 wins and a mind-boggling ERA of 0.74. Longtime ace RHP Roy Rock’s season ERA of 1.15, over 31 innings, has been equally impressive. Can the dynamic duo keep it up long enough to make believers of their fans?

Milan extended their season-opening win streak to 12 games by sweeping both New York and Panama City. The Marauders outscored the Nukes 16-4 in 3 games, then followed up their virtuoso performance by pounding the Locks 31-8 over a 4-game set. It’s still early in the season, but it might be already be time for Lockwood teams to start thinking about next year.
