Weekly Summary
Despite the large amount of movement in this week's standings our #1 Durham Bulls and #2 Greensboro Grasshoppers remain at the top and our #10 Kannapolis Cannon Ballers stays at the bottom. The Wood Ducks and Tourist have not had a good past couple of weeks which allowed for teams like the Mudcats and Knights to move up in the standings. The Knights are currently at the highest position they have been at all season and continue to gain momentum with 10 weeks left in the Minor League season. The Winston-Salem Dash drop two spots after their loss in their series to the then #9 Hickory Crawdads and could potentially be on the verge of finding themselves at the bottom of the barrel. As a result of the Dash's performance recently, the Woodpeckers find themselves sitting at #7, their highest rank of the season.
