2032 Tycobbian North Final Recap

Frogs Outlast Zorros For TU North Crown
The Tycobbian North had six clubs with winning records and might have been the strongest division in the IPA... all of them were battling for the lead at the halfway point, separated by only 6 games... However in the second half of the season, the champion Fairfax Frogs left everybody in their wake... only defending champ Luxora managed to stay fairly close as the Zorros lost out by 6 games... North Hills came in third, 11 games out... with White River, Oxford and Mahaska trailing by 13 games and tying for the fourth spot... Mahaska had a slight 2-game margin over Fairfax at the All-Star break, but faltered in the second half.

Manager Dane Wesner thinks this edition of the Fairfax Frogs (95-59) are the best in the team's history and have their best chance of finally winning the long-sought after IPA Pro Cup... the Frogs have only gotten into second round twice... on four occasions they were eliminated in the first round... the Frogs topped the Tycobbian Union with 95 victories, the most in the club's history.

Fairfax has solid hitting and fairly good pitching, especially its starters... Wesner has four fine pitchers in All-Star Kenny Nikas (25-9), who posted the most wins in the TU... Manny Hunsinger (18-13), Joey Santini (17-6) and Dudley Dickens (13-9) were reliable, too... closer Kevin Meeks (8-6/13 saves) gives them a dependable man in the bullpen... SS John Velasco (.294), All-Star LF Max Leibowitz (.278) and All-Star C Brian Davis (.289) were the primary contributors at the plate... the Frogs have good offense and good power... they are fine defenders as well with a .976 FA... Fairfax is a well-balanced club and could go deep in the Pro Cup playoffs.
