GOLD BATS GIVEN TO WYATT AND INKAMARA
The IPA Golden Bats have been given out to Nioka Inkamara and Johnny Wyatt. Both are previous winners of the best-hitter awards. Bayview's Inkamara claimed the Tycobbian Golden Bat and the Ruthlandian trophy went to Middlefield's Wyatt.

It's the third time in his great career that the 33-year-old Inkamara has captured the Golden Bat. His first two came in 2040 and 2042 with the Wynnamac Sundowners in the Ruthlandian Union. Inkamara was traded to Bayview in '49, so this was the first time anyone has won a Golden Bat in each Alliance. Wyatt is only 23 years old and he has already been named the Ruthlandian Golden Batter for the last two years, his first two seasons in the IPA.

Inkamara hit 50 homers for the Vikings in 134 games, drove in 120 runs and posted a .317 batting average. He ranked second in the IPA in home runs and was seventh in RBIs. Unfortunately Bayview could do no better than seventh in the TU West Division. In his 14 seasons Inkamara has clubbed 462 homers, collected 1314 RBIs and batted .302. Five times he has made the All-Star team and has won two Golden Gloves in right field. Inkamara also won the Ruthlandian MVP honor in '42.

Wyatt has been phenomenal in his first two seasons, winning the RU Rookie of the Year and the MVP last year and the Golden Bat this year. He topped the IPA with 57 roundtrippers this year and finished second to Benny Hull of Grand City with 133 RBIs. Hull drove in 135 runs this year. In 140 games Wyatt registered a .325 BA and scored 114 runs, leading the Middlefield Roosters to back-to-back pennants in the Ruthlandian East. In his two seasons Wyatt has clouted 102 homers, totaled 254 RBIs and hit .307 for average.

Arroyo Grande outfielder Norishige Ito and Rolling Hills second baseman Miguel Romeros came in second and third to Inkamara in the Tycobbian Golden Bat voting. In 146 games Ito slammed 46 home runs, collected 121 RBIs and scored 120 times, while hitting .284. Despite his fine season his Suns still came in last in the TU South Division. The 23-year-old Ito was the IPA leader in runs scored and was fifth in RBIs. Romeros,age 25, paced the Reds to a second-place finish in the TU West with a .327 mark in 147 games. He went deep 28 times, drove in 121 runs (5th in the IPA) and scored 105.

Johnny Wyatt's biggest competition in the Ruthlandian Golden Bat balloting came from Claxton's young right fielder Jimmy John Ramsey, who hit .338 in 137 games with 38 homers, 125 RBIs and 118 runs. He sparked the Diamonds to third place in the RU South pennant race. Ramsey was fourth in the IPA in RBIs and runs scored. Belle Plaine star Lenny Buisson was third in the voting. He led the Musketeers to the runner-up spot in the RU East with a .336 BA, 44 HRs, 108 RBIs and 116 runs. Buisson won the RU Golden Bat and MVP in 2048.
