.353 Average Wins Title for Pentleton
The numbers speak for themselves: a .353 batting average in 149 games, 217 hits, 27 doubles, 9 triples, 15 home runs, 98 RBIs, 111 runs scored and 39 walks. Those numbers added up to a batting title for Pettis Pentleton of the Elnora All-Stars, who paced his club to the Ruthlandian East pennant. The 25-year-old right fielder received his first Ruthlandian Union batting trophy today. At the award ceremony, Pentleton was definitely proud of his achievement. "I always knew that I had the talent to win a batting title," Pentleton commented to reporters, "but I've had trouble at times with consistency. Everything came together this season. I hope this is not the last time. It will be a challenge, but I hope to win it again." In his five seasons in the IPA Pentleton sports a standout .328 batting average.

Pentleton had a comfortable lead over Elnora's Travis Glass, who finished second in the batting race with a .338 average. In 146 games Glass slammed 25 homers, drove in 95 runs and scored 91 times. Stoner first baseman Fletch Fowler came in third with a .336 BA, 18 roundtrippers, 85 RBIs and 66 runs in 119 games.

Kenwood's Kessinger Takes Home TU Batting Honors
Jan Kessinger of the Kenwood Wildcats put the wraps on a fine season by winning his first Tycobbian Union batting crown and leading the IPA in the process. The Wildcats second baseman outperfromed all others with his .357 average. For the season, Kessinger played in 139 games, collected 174 hits, 1 home run, scored 67 times and knocked in 58 runs. Lifetime in his 9 years in the IPA, the 30-year-old Kessinger has compiled a .314 BA. His Kenwood Wildcats wound up third in the Tycobbian West this year.

It was a close battle with Summerland's Mandu Purula, who finished up 5 points back with a .352 mark in 136 games. Purula rapped 23 homers, batted in 86 runs and scored 72 for the Sunsets. In the number three spot was Rolling Hills' fine first sacker Billy Christianson. He played in 154 games, hit .336 with an IPA-leading 133 runs and batted in 75 runs.
