For the 13th consecutive year Cold Creek wound up in the first division of the RU East... the Catamounts were a very close runner-up last season with an 86-68 record, beaten out by one game by Sugar Valley... ironically, they improved to 94-60 and fell to fourth place, just 3 games behind... Cold Creek was only a game away from the division lead going into the final three weeks, but faltered in the stretch drive... the Catamounts have not yet won the Pro Cup... the last pennant came in 2041.

Pitching is the name of the game in Cold Creek... the starters compiled a 3.26 ERA (2nd) led by superstar J. J. Gillespie (21-15/2.68) and Sammy Wright (24-8/2.96)... Wright ranked fourth in the IPA in wins... Gillespie won 20 games for the 10th time in his career... he is 288-155 in his 16 seasons in the IPA... the 39-year-old hurler has the second-best ERA in league history at 2.37... only Johnny Duncan is better at 2.31... the other two starters Rob Hutchins (19-13/3.35) and Joey Baker (13-10/3.96) also did well... top reliever was Riku Takahashi (11-3/3.30/18 saves)... the Catamounts were not much at the plate... the most reliable hitters were SS Joe Cochrane (.299/20/100/86), RF Jimmy Howell (.303/3/64/92) and CF Ken Brennan (.305/7/49/84).
