Brewster Best Skipper In RU
Eastshore's Killer Brewster has won the RU East flag for the past four years and got passed over most of the time for the Manager of the Year honor, but not this season. The Islandian Times presented the accolade to Brewster today in Eastshore. He guided the Elegants to the best record in the RU with a 97-57 record, which was tied with Rocky Rapids for the most wins. This is the second time Brewster has won the top skipper award. He also took it in 2016.

The Snappers Ryan Noland was a close second. His Snappers racked up its third straight RU West pennant. Taranto's manager Tommaso Lazzorda also had a fine season and wound up third in the balloting. Lazzorda managed to lift the Tars up ahead of Ancona and Far Mountain in the RU North. Lazzorda squeezed enough pitching out of the Tars to win the division flag with a 90-64 record.

RH Reds Christianson Deemed Top TU Manager
The last time the Rolling Hills Reds made the Pro Cup playoffs was in 2003. Last year they were fifth in the standings. This season the Reds climbed up to first place and took the TU West title and won the Manager of the Year Award for Matty Christianson. Rolling Hills ended the year with an excellent 93-61 mark, the third-best record in the TU. Christianson was also selected top TU skipper in 2007.

Finishing second in a close vote was Huroko Uchiyama of the Ginza Ninjas. Uchiyama's club shot up from 7th to second this season, outdone in the TU South only by perennial power Turon. Winding up tied for third in the best skipper poll were Turon's Whitey Richburn and Ozarka's Joe Mac Carney. Richburn was atop the TU South for the fourth successive year and topped the league with a 99-55 record, while Carney piloted the Naturals to their fifth division crown in a row with a fine 97-57 mark.
