Ruthlandian East Division
ALL-STARS CLAIM RU EAST CROWN
All they needed to claim the Ruthlandian East title during the final six games of the year was one more win... or one more loss by Wynnamac (79-70)... the Elnora All-Stars (85-64) took matters in their own hands and whipped the Glasco Athletics 3-1 on the road to capture the RU East pennant and a spot in the Pro Cup playoffs... Matt Mackowiak (18-13/3.64) outpitched Monte France (17-17/3.16) in the clinching game, holding the A's to just one run and five hits in eight innings... but the All-Stars were losing 1-0 going into the top of the ninth, when pinchhitter Pedro Abreu (.302/2 HR/30 RBI) delivered the biggest hit of his career, a base-clearing three-run triple... this is Elnora's first division flag since 2035.
