Elegants Put Hopes In Rookie Hurlers In RU East
Eastshore manager Killer Brewster has seen that outhitting his Ruthlandian Union nemeses, the Elnora All-Stars and Sugar Valley Rattlers, hasn't paid off. The Elegants were the highest-scoring crew in the league last year, but to no avail - they concluded the season with a 75-79 mark and finished fourth, while Elnora took the crown and outdistanced them by 13 games. The season before, the Elegants were third behind the Rattlers, trailing them by 9 games with a 78-76 mark. Two years in a row the All-Stars have eliminated the Elegants in the IPA playoffs.

According the scouting experts, Brewster has corralled an outstanding prospect in Don Lance, a 21-year-old rookie with a great curveball, along with Jess Houlahan, a 30-year-old southpaw with 97 mph velocity. Lance will be Eastshore's #4 starter, while Houlahan will be a spot starter and long reliever. The Elegants have also signed 34-year-old Brian Russell, a finesse pitcher with good control and good command. Russell will be assigned to middle relief.

Brewster told BNN, "Our season depends on our rookie pitchers. I certainly hope Lance is a good as everybody says."

Top Pitchers: LHP Ivar Jorgerson (13-11 4.03), Don Willis (12-10 3.80)

Top Hitters: LF Darrell Alston (.333 BA/29 HR/110 RBI/114 R/15 SB), 1B Vito Iacoboni (.248 BA/30 HR/117 RBI/99 R), 2B Miles Sheehan (.301 BA/21 HR/83 RBI/111 R), RF Ron Dizon (.248 BA/24 HR/91 RBI), CF Judd Kilpatrick (.301 BA/7 HR/68 RBI/112 R/32 SB)
