Pilots, Maulers pacing circuit after first block

April was kind to the Rochester Pilots, and it didn't treat the St. Louis Maulers half bad, either. Rochester, at 21-9, is pacing the league in wins, with the Central Division-leading Maulers only two games behind. The Bombers' quick start is all the more notable as they were one of the five new replacement squads to join the league over the offseason. Led by lefthander Cole Hamels and his 1.46 ERA, the St. Louis pitching staff is keeping the club in games, with a 3.66 team ERA, good for fifth best in the league. Rochester ranks a surprising second in both pitching and hitting, boasting a 3.45 ERA and a .277 team batting average.

Fighting Irish catcher Mike Napoli got off to a tremendous start and is leading the league with 36 RBIs and tied for honors with 13 home runs. Co-leader Jose Bautista of the West Side Bluejays is second in both runs and RBIs. Northwest Stars center fielder Adam Jones is leading the league with a .406 batting average.
