8. MIDDLEFIELD (82-72): three years ago Middlefield ran off 104 victories with a potent attack and strong pitching... they slipped to 91-63 in '50... and to 82-72 this season... the Roosters will be going for their second Pro Cup in the playoffs... they won it decades ago in 2005... from the looks of things Middlefield will be heavily outgunned in the playoffs and not likely to go past the opening round... the Middlefield mound corps is still better-than-average with Carroll Collier (21-12/2.82) and James Long (21-13/2.22) heading up the rotation... young Ken Willis (5-5/2.21/10 saves) took over the closing role and did well.. leading the way offensively were CF Johnny Wyatt (.260/45/123/95), 2B Ike Gary (.272/20/82/43), 3B Cramer Landis (.303/9/50/84), C Johnny McDonald (.321/7/62/70), 1B Cliff Patterson (.291/19/50/53), CF Russell Martin (.251/21/70/86) and RF Timothy Hayworth (.267/11/40/89)... the Roosters don't hit for much average, but can go deep with 175 homers (3rd in the RU).
