4th Place: Midway Wolves (80-74) (14 GB)
Last Pennant: 2061
Pro Cups: 2 (2053, 2054)
The Middies have only been to the postseason on 9 occasions, but most of that was since 2053... the Wolves have captured 6 Tycobbian East titles in the past 13 seasons and they also captured back-to-back Pro Cup trophies in '53 and '54... overall Midway has one of the better winning percentage in IPA history (.519)... like South Fork and Red Bluff, they had fine pitching with a 3.31 ERA this year, but they didn't hit much for average (.243 BA)... however, they did score pretty well with 659 runs, mainly because they packed a wallop in their lineup with 171 homers... excellent pitching and longballs, coupled with a strong defense (.980) made the Wolves a solid ballclub in 2065... the future looks good in Midway... after flopping in '60 below the .500 mark, the Middies won the TU East in '61... were fourth in '62 (10 GB) and '63 (8 GB)... and they jumped to second place in '64 (6 GB)... after the retirement of their two superstars Norishige Ito and Daryl Vale at the end of the '64 season, many pundits expected the worst this year and forecast several bleak years of rebuilding, but it didn't happen... Midway continued its winning ways.
