River Turtles racing toward Appy League lead entering final week
With the bats humming at Calfee Park and on the road, the River Turtles have turned late July into a charge up the Appalachian League standings. Pulaski has won six of its last seven, a run punctuated by a 17–7 rout of the Kingsport Axmen this week [1].That surge has the club pressing the top of the table entering the final week of the regular season, with first place within striking distance as the standings tighten [1][2]. The closing stretch features key dates already circled on the slate, including a road trip to Danville on July 18 and a three-game set with Kingsport from July 21–23 that helped fuel the rise [3][4].With momentum building and meaningful games stacked to close the month, Pulaski has positioned itself squarely in the hunt as the league calendar winds down [2][3].
