8. Mahaska Haymakers (85-69)
Lordy mercy, it has been almost 5 decades since the Haymakers made some hay in the IPA playoffs... yep, 2028 was the last time... this is only the 5th time in its history the club has made the postseason... Mahaska got some good pitching this year from Mike Jones, Nelson Sinquefield, Jay Jay Hatchett, Claude Renoir and Bobby Perry... in a tight 5-team fracus in the TU North, the Haymakers prevailed with solid pitching... offense was just adequate enough... that's why Mahaska is rated last in the Pro Cup Poll... teams without a good offense rarely win the Pro Cup... the only decent threat in the lineup is Dingo Douglas... 'nuff said, the Haymakers will get knocked out early in the playoffs... Mahaska is not likely to get its first IPA Pro Cup Trophy this year.
