THE JEFFERSONS (MOVIN' ON UP!):

The Pigs have won 5 of their last 6 games. Meanwhile, first-place Pawtucket has lost 5 in a row -- so Lehigh Valley has pulled from 5.0 GB in the North Division to 1.0 GB, the closest they've been to first place since they were 0.5 GB on 5/22 (a span of 27 G)... In addition, SWB has also dropped 5 in row and BUF has dropped 3 in a row -- giving LHV a 4.0 and 6.0 buffer for 2nd, respectively.
