2nd Place: Tuckanarra Tiger Cats (90-64) (5 GB)
Outlook: The Tucks have been a winning team for the last six years... really been in the race the last two seasons, winding up second each time... contended some with a fourth-place finish in '59... the Tiger Cats have not made the postseason since '49, but they have a storied history with 18 playoff appearances and three Pro Cups (2023, 2024, 2035).
This year the hitting (7th) and scoring (4th) were fine with good home-run power (7th)... Tuckanarra has a quality starting rotation (13th), but the bullpen is weak (20th)... team fielding is below par (.973 FA)... league average is .976 FA... the Tucks had a mediocre May (14-15), while pennant-winning Midway sizzled (21-14)… that was the difference... the Tiger Cats are a young, talented and up-and-coming club... the future is good.
