Tombstones Stay on Top as Jockeys and Outlaws Surge Up the Board

Boom. League sources tell me the Tombstones remain the king of the Pecking Order at #1, riding a 4-game winning streak and a 77.4% all-play mark. Money is nice, but championships are better, and the Tombstones look like they are playing for the big prize.
