After 31 frustrating season, the Hillsboro Blazers (80-74) are still looking for a spot in the Pro Cup playoffs... the best the Blazers have ever done was to finish 2 games behind the division champ in 2020... otherwise it has been mostly the second division... the previous two seasons the club came in 7th and 8th, climbing up to a tie for 5th this year... skipper Andy Jefferson got better mound work this season... his starters were especially effective with a 3.10 ERA, sparked by Gregg Hughes (19-11/1.96), who led the IPA in ERA... Russell McIntosh (14-12/2.90) and Duke Mahoney (15-19/3.10) also did well... poor bullpen work hurt the team... the relievers chalked up a 4.27 ERA (28th)... the best run producer on the club was CF Chris Blanton with 34 homers and 72 RBIs, but he batted only .255... after being traded by Oxford 1B Phil Stafford became a regular in August and posted a .341 BA with 7 homers and 34 RBIs... for the season the 34-year-old Stafford batted .344 with 54 RBIs and 11 homers.
