Some updates:

* SS Austin LaFollette continues his strong play for Holly Springs in the CPL. He is now batting .294 (5-17) with a HR, 3 doubles, and 6 runs driven in. His .647 slugging % is 2nd on the team amongst players with at least 15 at bats. His defense has been strong as well, as he hasn't committed any errors in his last 3 contests after a miscue in the 3rd game of the summer.

* Ryan Jeffers if off to a hot start for the Upper Valley Nighthawks of the NECBL, going 6-11 (.556) with two doubles, 2 RBI and a stolen base. He's also thrown out a runner from behind the plate. Teammate Blake Deatherage has made an appearance out of the bullpen for the Nighthawks, throwing a scoreless inning and striking out 1. Deatherage is 0-4 at the plate.

* Incoming freshman OF Noah Liles continues to rack up stolen bases at a high rate for the 7-3 North Wake Fungo, as he now has 6 in 37 plate appearances to go along with his .273 batting average and .351 on base %. His teammate, OF Noah Bridges, meanwhile, has 5 SB's in 15 plate appearances, but is only hitting .214 with a .267 OBP.

* Mason Berne is no longer on the roster for the Sharks, for unknown reasons. Sometimes guys drop off of their summer rosters for a variety of different reasons, so it's likely not a big deal and not really worth speculating about. OF Kep Brown, meanwhile, is hitting a dismal .154 (2-13) for Wilmington. He'll wait to see if his name is called at some point during the MLB draft, which begins tonight at 6 and lasts until Wednesday.

* The Cape Cod season gets underway on Wednesday night. Cotuit will be facing Bourne in the opener, potentially providing Clark Cota (Cotuit Kettleers) with his first opportunity of the summer.
