WOLVES STILL UP BY ONE GAME IN TU EAST
Despite its loss yesterday, Midway (86-67) is still in the driver's seat in the Tycobbian East Division... all the Wolves need on the last day of the season is a victory over San Alejo (62-91) or a loss by second place Red Bluff (85-68) to Mahaska (73-80) in order to win their 5th straight pennant and a coveted spot in the IPA playoffs... the other contender, the third place High Mesa Mustangs (84-69), were knocked out of the pennant chase when they were blanked 5-0 by the playoff-bound Oxford Red Caps (88-65), the Tycobbian North Division champion... their ace Maury Stadler, 26-10 this season with a fine 2.94 ERA, put the Mustangs out of the race... Stadler tops the IPA in wins.

Yesterday, the Wolves had the misfortune to go up against one of the all-time great IPA pitcher, Matt Bell... at age 37 and playing with a bad team, Bell went 15-17 this season with a strong 2.68 ERA... he is number two on the all-time most wins list with a fantastic 391-225 record in his career with the Montaneros and a terrific 2.42 ERA for 19 seasons... Bell showed he still has the right stuff by tossing a complete game and beating powerful Midway 7-1, outpitching 20-game winner Charlie Chase (20-12/3.04) and keeping the Wolves from nailing down the pennant... Bell gave up 11 hits, but stranded 10 baserunners in the game... the Monties tagged Chase for four runs in seven innings... he left trailing 4-1.
