RECORD-SETTING RINEHART, TIMMS WIN IPA GOLD ARMS
The Islandian Pro Alliance proclaimed the best pitchers in the Ruthlandian and Tycobbian Unions... this year's Golden Arm awards went to the record-setting Lonny Rinehart of the Volusia Vigilantes and Ian Timms of the Tuckanarra Blue Jays... Rinehart, a first-time Golden Arm honoree, rang up a remarkable 31 victories and broke the old standard set in 2046 by Jamie Taylor of the Rocky Rapids Snappers, while Timms captured his second straight Golden Arm.

It was an unforgettable season for 25-year-old Lonny Rinehart, the Ruthlandian Union Golden Arm Award winner... not only did Rinehart set a new IPA mark with 31 victories, he also led Volusia to its first pennant in 16 years... a 4-year veteran Rinehart was a brilliant 31-6 with a 1.96 ERA and 9 shutouts in 39 starts, topping the IPA in all three categories... Rinehart completed 23 of his starting assignments and he toppled Jamie Taylor's 30 wins in the '46 season... career-wise Rinehart is 85-54 with an excellent 2.86 ERA.

Rinehart dominated the Golden Arm voting this year... Merle Pitts of the Crystal Lake Skippers and George Medworth of the Wynnamac Sundowners finished a distant second and third in the poll... Pitts paced the Skippers to the RU South division title with a 23-6 mark and a fine 2.35 ERA... Pitts gave the Skips a quality start 90% of the time... Medworth went 22-13 for the Macs with 18 complete games and 4 shutouts, while compiling an impressive 2.49 ERA.

For the second straight year the Tycobbian Union Golden Arm Award was given to Tuckanarra right-hander Ian Timms... in spite of playing for a 6th-place team (78-76), Timms posted a 22-12 record, along with a sparkling 2.49 ERA... a 5-year veteran at the young age of just 22, Timms led the IPA with 240 Ks in 305 innings... he worked 16 complete games and had 5 shutouts, the second-best total in the IPA and the best in the Tycobbian Union... lifetime Timms is 75-48 with the Blue Jays and a strong 2.94 ERA.

Second in the TU Golden Arm race was South Fork's workhorse Emmett Coogan, who notched a standout 25-10 record for the fourth place Stallions (82-72) in the tough Tycobbian East Division... Coogan, a 25-year-old right-hander, had a 3.27 ERA with 12 complete games and 183 strikeouts in 302 innings... he wound up second to Rinehart's 31 victories... Fairfax rookie Ronnie Custer piled up a 22-10 mark for the Frogs, who lost the pennant to Luxora in the TU North by just one game... the 25-year-old Custer logged a fine 2.45 ERA with 11 complete games.
