5. Oxford (90-64)
The Red Caps could surprise the pollsters... they are a sneaky good team... Oxford is very similar to Red Bluff, Southport and LaGrange... very good pitching with 2 standout veteran starters and a fine rookie... but they fall short in the relief corps... offensively the Red Caps can compete... they have good power and adequate hitting... 1 to 8 in the batting order, Oxford is pretty good... in the past they depended too much on their super sluggers, Buddy Blackford and Showboat Lynn... this year they have more support, but the two stars were down in performance this year... both of them saw their batting averages drop and their production numbers decline quite a bit... Oxford still has enough in the tank to test Southport in round one... they need Blackford and Lynn to play well in the playoffs... starters Rick Alessi and Pat McFarlane will have to perform well, too.
