Kenwood's Gavagan Pro Cup MVP
In a hotly-contested poll, Connie Gavagan, Kenwood's fine pitcher, nudged out teammate Dennis Riley for the IPA Pro Cup Most Valuable Player Award. Gavagan led the Wildcats to the Pro Cup championship with a 3-0 record and a 3.09 ERA. Gavagan won several of the crucial "must win" games. Riley, the Kenwood right fielder, batted .307 and led the club with 4 homers and 14 RBIs during the postseason. 32-year-old Gavagan was the choice of 30 writers and sportscasters, while Riley received 28 votes. The most valuable player in the Pro Cup playoffs is selected each season in a poll conducted by The Islandian Times.

Belair Beach's mound standout Nasty Naymick (4-2 1.94) came in third in the balloting with 24 votes, followed by Sunbird left fielder Ron Dizon, who led the playoffs with 6 home runs and 17 RBIs. Dizon had a .324 batting average. He was named on 23 ballots. The only other player to get votes was Belair Beach's right fielder Billy Martz, who was fifth in the poll. Martz had a .341 batting average, 4 homers, 13 RBIs and scored 16 runs. Martz received 20 votes.
