The standings shifted con- siderably, but when the last game was completed, Steve Robinson's team stood on top of the pack with a 5-2 record. Following closely behind Robinson’s were Jeff Lucke’s and Bart Moore’s teams with four vic- tories each. Jeff Lucke led his team by hitting at a league-leading 40.7 points a game.
