July 1, 1952
July is upon us, and once again Norfolk is in the lead of the Eastern Division, though tied with Carolina who has two games in hand on the Clippers. SS Raymond Timmerman (.331, 18 HR, 45 RBI, 62 R) has been lights out leading Norfolk's bats, tops in the league in batting (.281) and scoring (420). Clippers RF Jason Music hit for the 3rd cycle in CBA history at Tampa on June 25.
Elsewhere in the East, Atlanta completely implodes, going 7-20 on the month without their top weapon, 3B Travis O'Connell, who returns next week.
The Western Division finds Dallas holding the top spot with San Antonio two games back and Houston just three behind. Nashville, meanwhile, drops from 3rd to 5th in a month thanks to a pair of five-game losing streaks.

RF Stephen Delisle (DAL) - Hit .423 with 6 HR and 23 RBI, including five hits and three RBI versus New Orleans June 11, exactly one year after a five-hit, three-RBI performance over San Antonio
