The Fairfax Frogs ran well in the first half of the season, but slumped badly in the second half... they trailed North Hills by only 5 games at the All-Star break, but wound up 17 games back in sixth place... its been a dozen years since the Frogs won the division crown (2033)... Fairfax has appeared in the postseason 8 times, but has never claimed a Pro Cup trophy.

RF Brad Johnston paced the club with 91 RBIs and 91 runs, while batting .314... 3B Bobby Joe Daniel (.320/5/43/79) had the best average at .320... long-time star 2B John Velasco (.314/17/76/76) still swings a good bat at age 38... C Scott Courtney (.267/17/85/76) tied Velasco for the home-run lead with 17... and SS Daniel Pierce (.314/3/62/64) also batted over .300... the mound leaders were starters Harold Dorman (15-11/3.46) and Shaun O'Riley (15-15/3.53)... and Wes Christopher (8-9/2.78/22 saves) and Terry Sawyer (6-3/1.72/6 saves) in the bullpen... Christopher was the IPA co-leader in saves with 22, tied with Kenwood's Artemus Hale and Ginza's Timmy Hitchens.
