The Colchester Elites (76-78) had a good run until the All-Star game... they were in third place just 3 games behind leading Arroyo Grande, but fell to the wayside in a second-half slump, eventually coming in fourth in the standings, 16 games behind the leader... manager Patsy Bates' boys hit with good power, ranking fifth in the Tycobbian Union... they could score runs (4th), but had average pitching and were a little below average with a .970 fielding mark... Colchester's big guns were 1B Big Sam Takota with a .308 BA, 30 homers and 109 RBIs... CF Jim Lewellan, who hit 45 roundtrippers to lead the TU and totaled 115 runs and 101 RBIs... and RF Cleve Belton with 21 home runs, 74 RBIs and a .265 BA... on the hill Kevin Nixon (14-6) and Mackie McGinnity (17-13) stood out for the Elites.
