Milan      31  44  11        Budapest    28  47  13

Notes -

Five of the twelve games went to extra innings on April 23rd.
Prague and Lisbon had 10 game losing streaks in the first month of the season.
Hamburg were 22-6 in April.
Two managers have been fired in the first half. Amsterdam and Prague are the clubs that made the changes at the top.
In mid May Paris, Copenhagen and Hamburg all had win streaks of 9 games or more that started on the same day. Hamburg ended up winning 11 in a row.
Glasgow swept Dublin in June by winning 3 extra innings games. The sweep capped a 14-2 run for the Stallions.
There were two 19 inning games in the same week just before the All-Star break.
Budapest were not really in contention, but they have dropped even further back with a 3-15 record so far in June.

Player Notes -

Dublin's pitchers had a great start to the season. Trofimoff Eksler threw a two-hitter againt Lisbon in the 4th game of the season, then the next day Jere Ronkko, threw a three-hitter against the same opponents.
Aside from Pauli Erstweiler's perfect game, there have been three other no-hitters. Torquato Morais (Helsinki) threw one against Berlin on April 8th, 5 Copenhagen pitchers combined to no-hit Oslo on May 31st and Joesph Sykora (Vienna) pitched the other against Zurich on June 6th. On the same day as the perfect game, Emanuel Biancardi threw a three-hitter against Barcelona.
Vince Klapwijk (Milan) had 3 home runs in a game against London on April 27th. A day later, Armando Barrios (Barcelona) hit for the cycle versus Amsterdam.
Vienna's off-season investments have certainly paid off so far. Not only are they in first place, but the two big names they brought in both won a Hitter of the Month award. Theo Brittain took the award for April (his 3rd HoM award with 3 different teams) and Max Sabin won the award in May (his 7th success). Vienna also won the Pitcher of the Month award for April thanks to James McIlwraith, who followed up the award with a one-hitter on May 2nd.
The EL's April award winners were Jamel Baud (Helsinki) and Hamburg's Quentin van Rossum.
Moscow beat Prague 4-3 on May 6th thanks to Stanislov Paristy's walk off 3 run shot. Four days later the Blue Sox were on the wrong end of a walk off 2-out Grand Slam from Stockholm's Andreas Edbom.
Now market value has been set a few teams are looking to lock up their stars to long-term deals, especially ones who don't count against the foreign player limit. Kaspar Ahlmann (Berlin) and Thomas Meinert (Copenhagen), who between them have all six EL Homegrown Player of the Year awards, have both signed new deals. Ahlmann will earn $14.8M over 4 years and Meinert stands to pocket $25.4M for 5 year's work.
Randy Schmidt (Hamburg) hit in every game in May. His hit streak finished at an EBL record 32 games in early June. His exploits were not enough to win the EL Hitter of the Month award. This accolade went to Rudolf Tuhina of Copenhagen.
May's Pitcher of the Month awards went to Steve Lovegrove (Glasgow) and Pierangelo Magherini (Prague).
Eskil Junge (London) and Franz Badeni (Vienna) had 8 and 7 RBI respectively in the same game. Badeni had the game-winning RBI as the Armageddon beat the Crocs 15-14 in 12 innings in the teams' last game before the break.

Significant Injuries -

Samuel Polach (Hamburg), 1986's EL Hitter and Rookie of the Year missed 4 weeks early in the season with a rib injury.
Stockholm's 4-time All-Star, Callum Maxwell, was injured early in May and won't be back until the start of August.
Eero Lehvaslaiho (Barcelona) was injured on June 16th and will miss the rest of the season. He should be back for the start of the 1988 season. His statline in 1987 was a .301 average with 13 homers and 52 RBI.
Liam Bosanquet (Hamburg) is out until 6 weeks after the All-Star break. He has won 7 games so far and has a 2.75 ERA.
