FROGS AND HAYMAKERS HASSLE AGAIN IN TU NORTH
The Fairfax Frogs are the reigning champion of the Tycobbian North. The Mahaska Haymakers captured the division flag in '86 and the Hartsdale Hellcats hoisted the pennant
in '85. Those are the prime contenders this season. The Oxford Red Caps are given an outside chance at hauling in the title and the postseason playoff spot. Basically, it looks
like Fairfax and Mahaska will be the main challengers. Last year the Frogs ran away with the TU North division crown, winning by 14 games over Mahaska, 15 better than
Hartsdale and 18 ahead of Oxford.
SUMMERLAND TOP CHOICE IN TU SOUTH IN 4-TEAM RACE
Last year Ginza also torched the Tycobbian South, taking it by a wide margin over Colchester (13 GB), Summerland (14 GB) and Southport (16 GB). This season the Summerland
Sunsets are the #1 pick to win with Colchester, San Alejo and Southport the biggest rivals. But the Elites, Montaneros and Sun Sox will take the Sunsets to task. It will not be a breeze
for Summerland. Superior pitching will win it.
OZARKA IS THE CLASS OF THE TU EAST
The preseason choice in the Tycobbian East Ozarka will ride it fine pitching to an easy win this year according to the pundits and prognosticators. Hillsboro (9 GB), South Fork (11 GB),
Tuckanarra (13 GB) and Red Bluff (13 GB) will battle for the runner-up spot. Ozarka is a surprising pick. The Naturals came in a very close second place along with South Fork, winding
up just 2 games off the pace of pennant-winning Tuckanarra. Ozarka has the best offense and best pitching in the division. The Hillsboro Blazers ran a good race last year, just 5 GB in
4th place.
3-TEAM TUSSLE IN TU WEST, SLIGHT EDGE TO LA CLAIR
There is hardly an eyelash difference between a trio of teams in the Tycobbian West. The best in the TU West will come from defending champion La Claire, Chicopee (1 GB) and Rolling
Hills (2 GB). You might as well call it a dead heat. All three have claimed the crown in the last three seasons. The Lynx won it in '87, the Racers in '86 and the Braves in '85.
