Eastshore digressed this year, dropping from fifth place 83-71 (4 GB) to 71-83 (26 GB) and sixth... the Elegants have captured two Pro Cups (2016 and 2017), but have only made the postseason 7 times, most recently in 2034.
The Elegants have decent pitching, but little in the batting order... 40-year-old Koy Clampett (15-14/4.26), Malcolm Tansbury (12-13/3.37) and Tommy Brown (14-16/3.90) are just average starters... however, Jody Friday (12-8/2.04/15 saves) is a stud in the bullpen... at age 38, SS Johnny Petrak (.323/28/124/76) is still one of the IPA's premier players with a .316 career average, an 8-time All-Star and a Gold Glover... Petrak was 9th in the IPA this year in RBIs... RF Troy McFarland (.261) topped the team with 30 homers and 108 RBIs... and LF Bevan Shuler (.289) was the IPA SB leader with 47... he hit 25 out of the park and led the club with 119 runs.
