IPA REACHES HALFWAY POINT
There is some new blood in the Islandian Pro Alliance pennant hunts... the upstarts Marston Nine, Valka Blackhawks, Colfax Blasters, Ginza Ninjas and Summerland Sunsets are looking like genuine contenders this year at the halfway point in the season... none of them swooned in June... there is also some perennial old blood, too... top dogs like the Valmara Vipers, Oxford Red Caps, Red Bluff Red Sox, Crystal Lake Skippers, Wynnamac Sundowners and Southport Sun Sox.

Marston, Ginza and Valka were not highly heralded in the preseason rankings, but they have certainly done well so far... Marston (52-25) is on top of the Ruthlandian East with a 5-game margin over Wynnamac (47-30)... the Nine has the best record in the IPA so far... Ginza (47-30) has had a remarkable turnaround... the Ninjas have the lead in the Tycobbian South... 4 games better than runner-up Summerland (43-34) and 6 games up on defending champion Southport (41-36) and much-improved Cape Coral (41-36)... Valka (40-37) has the lead in the crowded Ruthlandian South race... but they are just one game ahead of St. John (39-38), 2 in front of last year's Pro Cup champion Crystal Lake (38-39)... Claxton (37-40) and Grand City (37-40) are just 3 off the pace... it's wide open to just about everybody in the division... the surprise club in the RU West is Colfax (45-32)... the Blasters are running a very close second to the division-leading Sligo Rovers (47-30), trailing them by just 2 games.

Four powers are going strong as usual... Valmara (51-20) is already 7 games up on the Glasco A's (44-33) and looks like they have a good shot at its third RU North flag in a row... Red Bluff (43-34) is in first place in the TU East, but not by much... they are being pushed hard by the High Mesa Mustangs (42-35), just one game back... Tuckanarra (40-37) is lurking 3 games out... and Red Sox rival, Midway (38-39), is in the 4th spot in the standings, 5 games behind... Rolling Hills (44-33) is rocking and rolling in the Tycobbian West with a 5-game edge over second place Denton City (39-38)... the Oxford Red Caps (50-27) are running rampant in the Tycobbian North with an 8-game bulge over defending champion Luxora (42-35)… the Oxies have the second-best record this year in the IPA.
