After two bad seasons in '60 and '61, things perked up for the North Hills Hawks, mainly because the can hit the heck out of the ball... but the pitching is just not there, especially in the bullpen (4.57 ERA)... the Hawks hit at a blistering .294 clip this year... great contact hitters, but no power whatsoever... only 62 flew out of the park (32nd)... still they scored well with 745 runs (8th)... however, Denny Darby, Victor Bates, Patrick O'Grady, Jarred Creed and Clayton Claiborne can really sting the ball... the other three starters hit fairly well, too... the starting rotation is adequate with Cy Swindell, Lance Lear, Eddy Salem and Lew Luxton... they would do much better if the bullpen could protect leads... defense is average with a .975 FA.

Historically, North Hills has a fabled story in the IPA... from 2034 to 2045 the Hawks captured a remarkable 11 pennants and 4 Pro Cups in 12 years... they were IPA champions in '34, '36, '38 and '41... but those glory years ended in '45... no TU North titles since.
