PRO CUP MVP GOES TO HAWKS' MICHAEL AGAIN
For the third time in his career David Michael of the North Hills Hawks has sparked his club to an IPA Pro Cup championship and for the second time he has been named the Pro Cup Most Valuable Player. The 31-year-old right-hander also won the award in 2034 and he played an important role on the 2036 title team. Michael is only the fourth two-time winner. Previously Far Mountain outfielder Xavier Soto won it two years in a row in 2011 and 2012, Eastshore pitcher Duncan Welch in 2020 and 2022 and Valmara hurler Teddy Lem in 2026 and 2030.

Michael captured it this year as he posted a 4-1 record in 6 starts with an exceptional 1.35 ERA. HIs closest competitor was teammate Jeff Owens, who took the MVP Award in 2036. Michael defeated him 60 to 50 in The Islandian Times' annual poll. A distant third in the balloting with 18 votes was Hawk' center fielder Kris Anastas.

Michael beat Turon 2-1 and 10-8 in first-round action. In the second game he allowed 4 runs in 8 innings for the win with only 2 runs earned. He exited with a 10-4 lead. His only loss was 2-1 in 10 innings to La Claire in second-round play. Michael later beat them 5-3 in game four to even up the series. In the Pro Cup Finals he won game one against Far Mountain 3-2 and whipped them again in game four 5-1. Michael completed 2 games in the postseason.

Owens was also outstanding this year with 3-1 mark in 4 starts with a 1.25 ERA and 4 complete games. Anastas batted .323 in 16 games with 4 homers and 15 RBIs.
