VALMARA'S JENSEN NAMED PRO CUP MVP
Not only is Valmara's Ken Jensen a slick-fielding shortstop, he handles the bat very well, too... he led the Vipers to their second straight IPA title... for his batting exploits the clutch-hitting Jensen was named the 2050 IPA Pro Cup Most Valuable Player, an award given to the top player in the postseason playoffs... this year's winner batted .321, but topped the playoffs with 17 RBIs... Jensen had RBIs in seven of the Vipers' dozen victories... Valmara went through the playoffs unbeaten and won 12 games in a row to take the IPA crown.
During the regular season the 30-year-old Jensen achieved a .320 BA with 67 RBIs, 100 runs and 21 stolen bases, while playing in 140 games... in nine seasons with Valmara he has put up a .312 BA.
Jensen easily won the MVP this year, outpolling Viper teammates Darus Grajek, Tomek Abramczyk, Mirko Musial and Kasio Bajek... Grajek was 5-0 in the postseason with a 3.02 ERA in six starts... LF Abramczyk hit .378 in the playoffs and drove in 10 runs... relievers Musial and Bajek were vital parts of the title run... Musial was 1-0 with three saves in four appearances, while Bajek was 1-0 with a pair of saves in four games... neither of them allowed a run in the playoffs.
