Eureka's fine starting pitching finally brought the Hornets to first place in the Sparky Anderson Division. However, the team is ranked 10th in home runs, with superstar Bergeron only batting .264 with 15 home runs. A nice offensive surprise has been Jack Watson, who has followed up a .217/.289/.365 14 home runs year with a .345/.378/.655 24 home runs year this year with 57 games remaining.
