June 1, 1872 Update - Mutual Running Away With Race

It's now June 1, 1872 in my simulation, and we've got what looks like an early blowout:

Mutual 11 wins, 0 losses
Haymaker 9 wins, 6 losses
Forest City 6 wins, 4 losses
Athletic 5 wins, 1 loss
Olympic 5 wins, 4 losses
Mansfield 3 wins, 6 losses
National 3 wins, 6 losses
Boston Red Stockings 3 wins, 7 losses
Lord Baltimore 3 wins, 11 losses
Atlantic 2 wins, 3 losses
Eckford 1 win, 3 losses

Thus far Mutual has had only two remotely close games: a 5-2 win over Olympic on April 23 and an 8-5 victory over Boston on May 8. The team is averaging over 11 runs per game and has surrendered less than 4. Only Athletic seems remotely close to their skill level, and the two teams will meet for the first time in early June for two games against one another.
