July 1, 1872 Update - Athletic Closes Gap With Mutual

I've reached July 1 in my simulated version of the 1872 season, and here's what the standings currently show:

Mutual 17 wins, 4 losses
Athletic 13 wins, 2 losses
Haymaker 12 wins, 9 losses
Forest City 8 wins, 5 losses
Boston Red Stockings 6 wins, 13 losses
Olympic 5 wins, 4 losses
Mansfields 5 wins, 9 losses
Eckford 4 wins, 4 losses
Atlantic 4 wins, 5 losses
National 4 wins, 7 losses
Lord Baltimore 4 wins, 20 losses

Athletic was able to win both their games against Mutual this past month, giving them an outside shot at catching the powerful New York club. Meanwhile, both Olympic and National have suspended operations and will not be continuing in the Association. That leaves nine teams, and of course only five of those teams will still be around for the start of 1873.
