First, forget Gwinnett and the camp teams.
The G-Braves have been awful in August (2-4). Camp teams both sub .500.
However...
MISSISSIPPI, after sweeping DH on Thursday, have won 11 of 14 and is in a virtual 3-way tie for first with 22 games left in the season.
LYNCHBURG won five straight at the end of July, but is 2-4 in August and has slipped four back of Potomac, which has won six straight.
ROME(!) has won five straight and seven of eight in a terrific play-for-pride showing by what was one of baseball's worst teams the first half. But they are still "only" 21-26 in the second half, 13 back and 11 games away from elimination.
DANVILLE has let first place slip away by losing four of five, three by one run. But the D-Braves are still one-half game ahead of Pulaski, one game up on Princeton.
