2065 Tycobbian East Final Standings
1st Place: Tuckanarra Tiger Cats (94-60)
Last Pennant: 2064
Pro Cups: 3 (2023, 2024, 2035)
The Tuckanarra Tiger Cats (nee Blue Jays) are one of the most successful franchises in IPA history... second-best won-lost percentage (.546)... 3 Pro Cups... and 20 playoffs appearances... winning record the last decade... 3rd place in '62 (5 GB)... 5th place in '63 (9 GB)... and 1st place in '64 and '65... the Tiger Cats had a spectacular season this year... the Tycobbian East was a dogfight until midseason with 4-5 teams in the mix... then the Tucks took off like a rocket in July and won going away by 10 games over the preseason pick, the South Fork Stallions... the Tiger Cats were rated the number-two team in the poll... third place Red Bluff (13 GB), fourth place Midway (14 GB) and fifth place High Mesa (15 GB) were in the running, but fell to the wayside in the second half of the season... Tuckanarra went 50-25 in the last three months of the year and soared way ahead of everybody.
The Tiger Cats are an offensive juggernaut with a .261 BA, 740 runs and 201 homers... the lineup is chocked full of good, solid hitters... no slouch on the hill, either, with a 3.61 team ERA... but they were lackluster defenders with a .976 FA... the Tucks will again face powerhouse Rolling Hills in the first round of the Pro Cup playoffs... they gave the Racers fits last year before succumbing in a tense six-game set... the Tiger Cats are better this year, so it should be quite a series again... the survivor of that series will be a prime contender for the much-coveted IPA Pro Cup.
