Middlefield has one IPA title in its history... that was in back in 2005... 10 times the Roosters have made the playoffs, but not too often in the last 20 years... only once in 2041... playing in a hitter's ballpark, they are not known for their pitching, but this has not been the case in recent years... especially this year with a 3.33 team ERA (3rd)... as usual the Roosters are among the leaders in longballs with 211 (2nd).
The Middlefield mound corps is paced by James Long (21-13/2.09), who has the second best ERA in the Ruthlandian Union and is ranked fifth in the IPA with a brilliant 2.09 ERA... other quality starters are Hollis Dale (10-5/3.21) and tough-luck Carroll Collier (11-14/2.94)... the bullpen ace is Ray Owens (3-5/2.29/17 saves)... the Rooster batting order has three 30-homer hitters in CF Norman Antonioni (.253/38/76/92), RF Sidney Conner (.280/36/109/82) and LF Alejandro Dominguez (.274/35/114/97).
