- Dawson Haywood

Summary: 

This past week there was a lot of movement and several teams can thank the Hickory Crawdads for moving up a few positions. Coming into this past week in the #5 spot the Crawdads had every opportunity to move into the #4 if not the #3 spot with a good performance and bad performances from the Bulls and Mudcats but instead they were swept by Bowling Green. The resulted in the Crawdads dropping three positions.

The current Top-3 are likely going to finish out in the Top-3 unless they perform like the Crawdads did. The Grasshoppers and Wood Ducks have been battling out the Top-2 with the Bulls waiting patiently for one of the two to slip badly. 

Our "Bottom of the Barrel Showdown" between the Winston-Salem Dash and the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers continues as the Dash have moved out of the #9 spot this week!
