TYPHOONS TRAMPLES TU SOUTH AGAIN
For the fifth time in six years the Turon Typhoons have trampled everybody in the Tycobbian South Division... it could have easily been their sixth straight except for the second-place finish in '55 to the Southport Sun Sox, who nipped them by one game in a sudden-death playoff... this season the Typhoons blew away runner-up Cape Coral by 16 games... Southport was in the third spot, trailing by 17 games... and Summerland claimed fourth place in the standings, a distant 21 games behind... Turon led the entire season, building up a 7-game edge at the halfway point and increased it to 11 by September and won going away by season's end... double-digit wins are nothing new for the Typhoons... except for the close defeat in '55, Turon's closest race in the last five years was 12 games... however, the Typhoons have not had great postseason success... but they made the Pro Cup Finals last year, falling to champion Middlefield in five games... in '52 they lost to underdog Oxford in the first round and in '53 and '54 Turon was beaten by IPA Pro Cup champ Midway in the Tycobbian Finals.

1ST PLACE: TURON TYPHOONS (93-61)
Last Year: (96-58) (1st Place)
Two Years Ago: (98-57) (1 GB) (2nd Place)
Last Postseason: 2057 (4 Pro Cups - 2003, 2006, 2009, 2018) (20 Pennants)

Manager C. C. Kingsford's club has not had a losing season since 2045, a 12-year run... dominant pitching this year makes Turon a serious player this postseason... offense is fairly good with good power... plus good defense... a solid club... bullpen only fair.

Team Stats: .266 BA (9th), 694 runs (14th), 125 HR (22nd), 3.14 ERA (2nd), .979 FA (good)

Top Players: four solid pitchers in Parmenter, Jevicks, Hedges and Dickinson... good core of reliable bats, led by Fears, Mullinax, Yuro, Shepperton and Kaline.
