Red Bluff's Mohoski Acclaimed Playoff MVP
The Islandian Baseball Writers Association has chosen Red Bluff hurler Mila Mohoski the IPA Postseason Most Valuable Player. Mohoski led the Red Sox to the Pro Cup championship with a 4-1 record and a 1.80 ERA. The 25-year-old southpaw won two games in the Final 4 Series and two games in the IPA Finals.

Mohoski was the top votegetter with 45 votes. Red Bluff's left fielder Tony Blundell was second in the balloting with 35 votes. Blundell batted .377 during the playoffs with 5 homers, 22 RBIs and 14 runs scored. Sugar Valley's fine shortstop Flipper Bird came in third with 12 votes. Bird hit .301 with 4 home runs, 18 RBIs and scored 13 times during the postseason and sparked the Rattlers to a second-place finish.

Three Red Bluff players rounded out the balloting. Second baseman Vern Gable was fourth with 10 votes, pitcher Leonard Urban fifth with 8 votes and center fielder Stan Helmke sixth with 5 votes. Gable compiled a .364 batting average with 3 roundtrippers, 12 RBIs and 18 runs, Urban was 4-1 with a 1.02 ERA and Helmke batted .302 with 2 homers, 10 RBIs and 13 runs scored.
