It's time for another edition of the Power Rankings! No change at the top of the rankings this week, as Jackson stays at #1 after going 10-6 this period. Sacramento and Rochester stay at #2 and #3 respectively, with solid 9-7 performances in this period. Atlanta jumps up 2 spots to #4 with a 10-6 record in the rankings period, and Tampa Bay rounds out the top 5 at #5 with a great 12-4 run.
But the hottest team in the league comes from outside the top 5, it's everybody's favorite, the Hammer'd Leprechauns! #9 San Francisco went 13-3 during this past period and are currently on an 11 game winning streak. They took over the AL West lead as well, passing a slumping #10 Vancouver. Other hot teams include #7 Dover, who went 11-4, and #13 Memphis, rebounding from an awful start with a 12-4 effort. #17 Boston went 12-3, and are currently on an 8 game winning streak.
