Stone Crabs Week in Review: May 27 to June 2

The Charlotte Stone Crabs were 4-2 on the week and ended the week on a four game winning streak. The improvement of the offense has led to the Stone Crabs inching closer to first place, sitting just a game and a half back from the leader. Things will start to heat up as we approach the end of the first half of the season as the Stone Crabs, Bradenton Marauders and Palm Beach Cardinals are all within a game and a half of each other. To make it even more interesting, the Stone Crabs will face off against the Cardinals in a two game series at the end of this week prior to the all-star break.
