The Caracas Leones and Zulia Aguilas are doing some early jostling in the Venezuelan League standings heading into November. Both clubs have 8-5 record to top the stables, although Caracas has been a bit stronger of late with three straight wins and seven victories over their past ten games, while the Aguilas have played .500 ball in the same timespan.
Two reasons for Zulia's early success have been pitchers Heath Totten and Michael Connolly. Totten has been outstanding in three starts for the Aguilas, with a 2-0 record, an ERA of just 0.90 and 12 strikeouts over 20 innings. Connolly's line is actually more intriguing. Although he has yet to give up an earned run in 12.1 frames, Connolly has an 0-1 record in three starts for the young season. One reason might be the 17 walks he's issued so far.
Among batters, Anzoategui's Josh Kroeger leads the league with a .441 average.
