Far Mountain Ace Kelly Wins RU Golden Arm Award
Robby Kelly of the Far Mountain Redhawks might be an old man, but he can still pitch with the best of them. Today the 35-year-old hurler snagged the Ruthlandian Union Golden Arm Award honors for his outstanding 2012 performance. He posted a 2.38 ERA with 22 wins, 8 losses, 131 strikeouts and 78 walks in 299 innings. Kelly completed 23 games. The Redhawk star is 183-125 in his 12-year IPA career with a fine 3.01 ERA.

Kelly beat out some tough competition for the award. 21-year-old Nicky Perrier of the Glasco Athletics finished a very close second with a 23-9 record and a sterling 2.34 ERA. Wynnamac's standout southpaw Jerry Meeks posted a 21-12 mark and a great 2.17 ERA and wound up third in the BNN poll. Meeks led the RU in ERA.

TU's Best Hurler is Terranova
The Golden Arm Award for 2012 has been presented and the Tycobbian Union winner is 30-year-old Blackie Terranova of South Fork. "It's always nice to receive an award like this," said Terranova. "I just hope I can improve on my performance next year and be in the running again," the Stallions star told reporters. Terranova excelled with an impressive 25-6 record in 40 starts. In 320 innings he yielded 278 hits and 80 walks, while striking out 190 and compiling a fine 2.59 ERA. Terranova is 59-33 with a career 3.14 ERA in his 3-year career.

Terranova outpaced Cody Burg of the Cape Coral Hurricanes and Nicky Engstrom of the Turon Typhoons for this year's honor. Burg has won it twice previously and Engstrom took the trophy last year. All of them are right-handed pitchers. Burg was 24-10 on the year with a TU-leading 2.08 ERA, while the 23-year-old Engstrom posted a 2.26 ERA, good enough for a 20-13 record. Burg is only 30 and is the all-time wins leader in the IPA with a remarkable 208-128 mark and a splendid 2.53 ERA in his 12 seasons. Engstrom has been around the IPA only 3 years, but they have been sensational seasons. He has notched a superlative 63-27 record with a fantastic 2.14 ERA.
