Elnora's Pentleton Prevails In RU MVP Race
In a surprise the RU batting champ prevailed over two strong challengers in the Ruthlandian Union Most Valuable Player poll. Outfielder Pettis Pentleton of the Elnora All-Stars took the prestigious trophy in a close vote over Sugar Valley's Aron Libertini and Waleska's Loco Dillinger. Libertini won this year's Golden Arm Award and Dillinger claimed the Golden Bat honor.

Pentleton, a 25-year-old right fielder, compiled a .353 batting average to lead the RU and spark the All-Stars the RU East Division crown. Pentleton came in second in the Golden Bat competition, losing out to Waleska's Loco Dillinger. This year's MVP smacked 15 roundtrippers, scored 111 runs, batted in 98 and garnered his second Golden Glove award. Elnora's lofty place in the standings apparently swayed many of the voters in the selection process. Libertini and Dillinger both had very impressive seasons, but their clubs wound up far off the pace in the pennant races.

Sugar Valley ace Aron Libertini had a marvelous season and paced the Rattlers to a fourth-place finish in the RU East, won by Elnora. Libertini was the top winner in the IPA with a 25-10 record and 2.67 ERA.

Third in The Islandian Times balloting was Loco Dillinger of the fifth-place Waleska Westerners, a 6-time All-Star and 3-time Golden Bat winner. The 31-year-old slugger topped the RU with 43 home runs, came in second with 114 RBIs and third with 114 runs, while finishing fourth with a .333 BA.

Zorros DeVito TU Top Player
Benny DeVito didn't win the Golden Arm, but the Luxora southpaw hauled in the Tycobbian Union Most Valuable Player Award. DeVito led the Zorros to 96 wins this season, the most in the TU and second-best in the IPA. DeVito rang up a 22-14 mark with a superb 2.29 ERA to win out over Golden Arm winner Emil Kaltenborn of High Mesa and Golden Bat victor Lorne Evans of the Southpost Sun Sox in The Islandian Times poll.

Kaltenborn had a standout season for the seventh-place Cowboys, but ended up number two in the MVP voting after taking the top pitcher award. Kaltenborn chalked up an 18-10 record with an amazing 2.25 ERA, while playing half his games in the hitter-friendly Queen Ranch Stadium. The 26-year-old righty tossed 25 complete games and 5 shutouts with 225 Ks in 334 innings.

It wasn't a good year for the power-hitters in the IPA as the Golden Bat winner Lorne Evans came in third in the MVP balloting, just like Loco Dillinger of the Ruthlandian Union. Evans, who plays right field for the Southport Sun Sox, a 3-time Batter of the Year and 4-time All-Star, had 49 homers to lead the IPA, the third time he has done that in his career. The 26-year-old Evans was tied for second in the IPA with 119 runs and fourth in the TU with 109 RBIs. Evans played in 148 games and batted .307 for the year. His Sun Sox were beaten out for the TU South pennant by just one game by the Ginza Ninjas.
