Manager Flipper Bird led the Cape Coral Hurricanes (62-92) to the TU South pennant in 2030, but the team went into a rapid decline, falling to sixth last year and to the cellar this year... the 'Canes were 30 games off the pace... the pitching is horrendous with a 4.58 ERA, the worst in the IPA... the only somewhat effective pitcher Bird has is Mike Rinaldi with a 13-8 record and a so-so 4.08 ERA... leading the Cape Coral attack is 15-time All-Star C Crash Davis with a .305 average, 19 homers, 81 RBIs and 86 runs... 3B Dayton McCall pace the team with a .321 BA in his third season... McCall had 14 home runs and 68 runs batted in... rookie SS Dutch Wilderboar shows promise with a .305 BA, 63 runs and 44 RBIs... Wilderboar played solid defense, too... freshman LF Chris Noon impressed with a .329 BA and 22 SBs.
