The High Mesa Cowboys (54-100) have a long history of failure and frustration after winning the Pro Cup in the team's first year in 2002... the Cowpokes also made the playoffs in the second season, but never since... this is the sixth successive season the team has been mired in the second division... skipper Rolf Kellgren, who played shortstop for the 2002 team, has very little talent on his club... the Cowboys ranked near the bottom in hitting, pitching and fielding... Emil Kaltenborn is a fine pitcher and went 13-19 with a 3.16 ERA... the only other pitcher of note on the High Mesa staff was reliever Billy Statler, who was 5-3 in 41 games with 5 saves and a terrific 1.87 ERA... at the plate LF Randy Williams paced the team with 30 homers, drove in 60 runs and hit .251 for average... rookie RF Matt Marsh collected 19 home runs and led the team with 62 RBIs and a .269 BA.
