I can't seem to find the first half standings, but I think it's safe to assume the ports didn't win the first half because it would have been mentioned somewhere

Future Looks Bright for Barton
What's most amazing, though, is that he's still a teenager. He won't turn 20 until August and when you speak to him, the starry-eyed kid sometimes shines through, especially when the subject matter is the Futures Game that will take place on July 10 in Detroit.
Stockton is in 2nd place, currently 2.5 games behind
2 games back now.
First place with a 3 game lead
There doesn't really appear to be anyone that I haven't already mentioned that is doing exceptionally well at Stockton at this point (some have moved on to AA). But it doesn't matter as they're in 1st place, so they must be doing something right.
1st place by 3 games
