No Contest in TU South, San Alejo Wins Easily - Cape Coral, Turon and Ginza also in Playoffs

The San Alejo Montaneros made shambles of the Tycobbian Union South Division by racking up an impressive 51-26 record over the final three months of the season. Lando Peceda's bunch won their second consecutive division title. This time by 12 games over Cape Coral (84-70) and Turon (84-70), who tied for second place. Whitey Richburn had his Typhoons in the lead at the All-Star break, but Turon dipped to 36-41 in the second half. Cape Coral, piloted by Huggy Miller also faltered to 38-39 and faded. Ginza Ninja skipper Huroko Uchiyama saw his club compile an impressive 44-33 mark over the final half of the year and climb up to fourth place, ending up 14 games behind.

Will Hackett's Summerland Sunsets (79-75) slipped to a poor 34-43 record after mid-season and it cost them a playoff spot. The Sunsets were fifth in the division, 9 games back. Uncle Robbie Wilbertson guided his Colchester Elites (76-78) to sixth place. The Elites went 38-39 and completed the year 20 games out of first place. Charley Oscar got the Southport Sun Sox moving after a terrible first half performance where they only registered 26 wins and were way back in seventh place. The Sun Sox notched a fine 43-34 mark after the All-Star Game, but still trailed San Alejo by 26 games. Manager Jean-Luc Marchand had another long season in Arroyo Grande (52-102) as the Suns suffered another 100-loss season and finished deep in the division basement, 44 games behind.

In the opening round of the IPA Pro Cup Series it will be Ginza (#4) challenging the champion Montaneros (#1) at Ninja Stadium in game one. The Hurricanes (#3) and Typhoons (#2) will go head-to-head at Seaside Stadium in Cape Coral. Both series will switch to San Alejo and Turon for the final two games, if necessary. The teams will play best-two-out-of-three games.
