IPA Batting Crowns Awarded To RU's Richard And TU's Gustavsen
Only a smidge separated first from second in the IPA batting derbies this season. The Ruthlandian title went to Neil Richard of the Eastshore Elegants and the Tycobbian king was Kurt Gustavsen of the Chicopee Braves. Richard nudged out Waleska's Loco Dillinger by less the two-tenths of a point and Gustavsen got the best of his teammate Alfredo Cobos by one point.

In a tense duel Richard edged out Dillinger .33089 to .33066. Richard collected 181 hits in 547 trips to the plate for a .331 average. The 21-year-old Eastshore right fielder captured his second successive RU batting crown. Last year he batted a lofty .376. Richard had 27 doubles, 1 triple, 20 homers, 97 RBIs and scored 80 runs in 140 games. For his three years in the IPA Richard is a career .332 hitter.

Cobos missed the last three weeks of the season because of injury. Gustavsen had to go 3-4 on the last day to beat him. First baseman Gustavsen hit .346 to .345 for Cobos. The 29-year-old Gustavsen notched 182 hits for Chicopee with 28 doubles, 2 triples, 23 home runs, drove in 108 runs and tallied 71 runs in 142 games. After nine years with the Braves Gustavsen sports a .308 lifetime batting average with 177 roundtrippers.

Superstar Dillinger put up another outstanding season with 36 homers and 113 runs batted in in 139 games. Third in the RU batting race was Rocky Rapids shortstop Kelvin Cassidy, who hit .326. Cassidy copped the crown in 2033.

Tycobbian runner-up Cobos hammered 22 home runs and batted in 88 with a .345 BA. In the third spot was North Hills' great left fielder Adam Thurgood with a .331 batting average in 146 games. Thurgood had 32 home runs and 103 RBIs.
