VALMARA'S TWARDZIK VOTED PRO CUP MVP
After laboring several years in obscurity as a journeyman pitcher Valmara's Teddy Twardzik finally got a little notoriety. The 31-year-old hurler was selected the outstanding player in the playoffs and will receive the 2043 Pro Cup Most Valuable Player Award. Twardzik sparked the unheralded Vipers to the Island championship as they beat favored North Hills in six games. He is only 63-79 in his 7-year career with a 3.56 ERA.

Twardzik went 5-1 in his six postseason starts with a 3.12 ERA. He went the distance in four of the victories. During the regular season Twardzik was only only 16-15 in wins and losses, but he posted a fine 2.59 ERA, fourth best in the Ruthlandian Union.

Twardzik's biggest competiton for the MVP trophy was North Hills' fine catcher Timmy Stevens, who hit a sizzling .446 in the playoffs. Stevens had 7 doubles, a triple and 2 homers in 14 games with 11 runs scored and 8 driven in, collecting 29 hits in 65 at-bats.

Others receiving votes were all Valmara players. Center fielder Don Ritchie was a distant third in the poll. He led the Vipers at the plate with a .350 BA, 2 HRs, 12 RBIs and 11 runs. Fourth was teammate and first sacker Cain Greene (.339/2 HR/13 RBI/11 runs). Finishing fifth was shortstop Antos Dacko (.327 BA/2 HR/11 RBI/8 runs).
