The Fireflies have fallen a back a little in attendance, and in the standings too. Right now the Fireflies' postseason hopes depend on a good second half with the Mets needing to send more prospects after the draft here especially if guys like Conlon and Thompson get promoted. Attendance-wise, the heat and the Gamecocks getting another home weekend in the postseason are really going to drag down attendance until the 4th of July most likely. Really would like to see the Fireflies beat Lexington and challenge Charleston in attendance, but at least it looks like the Fireflies will finish in the top half easily enough. The more interesting number may be Kannapolis, which could finish with the worst attendance of a SAL team not seriously threatening to move in at least a decade.
