Washington is falling back to the pack as some of the sheen is wearing off of Stearns. They are still scoring 8 runs per game, however, so they remain the team to beat. Rockford is hanging in there, and Philadelpia is starting to heat up. The big surprise, however, is Boston. They simply are not hitting. They are nowhere to be found on the batting leaderboards.
