The Mahaska Haymakers (82-72) trailed first-place Fairfax by 13 games and tied for fourth with White River and Oxford... Rusty Tanussa is the only manager in the Haymakers history... he has only 3 pennants and 4 playoff appearances in 31 seasons with no Pro Cups in the Mahaska trophy case... the Haymakers had a good season by being 10 games over .500... Tanussa's team excelled on the mound with a superb 2.83 ERA, which was second to San Alejo's IPA best at 2.73... Mark Pennington (19-10), James Allington (17-15) and Carl Dreux (10-10) all chalked up ERAs under 3.00... but the Haymakers were at the bottom of the league in scoring... SS Buddy Myers (.312), CF Pasha Yablonski (.265), and LF Johnny Yevtushenko (.305) and RF Travis Tuttle (.300) provided most of Mahaska's offense.
