[Stanley Kuppchaser]

The Stars won four-of-five to again put a little more distance between themselves and the pack and may be very tough to catch. Flatbush certainly cannot afford another month of 5-4 ball, nor is Hidden Valley going to succeed, even at their two-of-three pace, without a Stars collapse. Given Shinbone's consistent performance in their wire-to-wire run so far, the fault, dear Brutus, is in their underlings.
