Tycobbian Union

The Tycobbian North was really hard-fought with 7 teams in the hunt at various times during the season. The last week saw three teams fighting tooth-and-nail for the flag. It was finally decided in a playoff game. The Mahaska Haymakers hammered the defending champ White River Rascals 12-5 for the title. The Hartsdale Hellcats, which led going into September fizzled near the end and fell to third place, but only one and a half games back. The Haymakers went 7-3 in the final 10 games, while the Rascals could only manage a 4-6 mark and the Hellcats slumped to just 3-7.

In the TU South, the current Pro Cup titlist Southport won a stirring battle with the Ginza Ninjas and picked up its second straight division championship with a strong stretch drive. The Sun Sox came on like gangbusters in September racking up a 14-3 record, while the Ninjas totally collapsed with a 5-12 mark. Southport tied them on the final day of the regular season and then smacked them 11-5 in the playoff game. The third place Summerland Sunsets and Colchester Elites also ran good races, but came up 4 and a half games short in September.

The Tuckanarra Blue Jays were the best team in the Tycobbian Union with a 102-52 record, tops in the IPA. The Tucks nabbed their fourth TU East pennant in the last six seasons, running away with it by 15 games over runner-up East Point.

The Tycobbian West had the Cinderella club in the league, the La Claire Lynx, who roared from fifth place and 26 games back in 2027 to the division champ this year, a wonderful turnaround for a team that had never, ever won a pennant or even made the playoffs in its 28-year history. La Claire has been so bad it has only made the first division 4 times. The Lynx whipped the Kenwood Wildcats by 5 games and the defending division winner Rolling Hills by 10 games. It was truly a magical year in La Claire!
