Fresno has held on to second place in their division despite going 3-6 since last we checked in on them, but they are now 4.5 games behind the Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners) and only one game in front of the third and fourth place teams. The Hooks, however, reversed their slump and are 6-3 since my last standings post and are back to .500. They are still in third place, a full 8.0 games behind Frisco (Rangers), though. Lancaster has continued to scuffle along at a 3-5 pace since the calendar turned to May and they remain in fourth place, one game further behind in the standings. Rancho Cucamonga (Dodgers) has taken the league lead away from High Desert (Rangers), leading that team by one game. Quad Cities is also 3-5 over that same period; they have dropped from sixth place to seventh in the standings and are now six games behind the league-leading Clinton (Mariners) team.
