The second division has been the home of the Bayview Vikings (64-90) for the last decade... four times they have been cellar-dwellers... manager Chancey Quibedeaux's Viks were last this year, 19 games out of the race... Bayview hasn't won the TU West since 2016... and they have never won the Pro Cup, but were very successful with 5 postseason appearances in its first 7 years in the IPA... four times in those years they lost to the eventual Pro Cup winner in the Tycobbian Finals - Turon eliminated them in 2003 and 2006, Red Bluff in 2004 and Oxford in 2007.
Bayview had an average attack with fairly good power with 153 homers (9th), but was very much lacking on the mound with a sky-high 4.42 team ERA (31st)... All-Star rookie 3B Marius Lokken was the offensive sparkplug with 26 homers, 87 RBIs, 73 runs and a fair .267 BA... LF Roy Ricks hit 23 home runs, batted in 73 and scored 72 times, but only posted a .256 BA... RF Johan Binger totaled 22 roundtrippers and 52 RBIs, while batting .267... the Vikings most effective hurler was Norm Dawson with a 17-17 record and a respectable 3.43 ERA.
