Tycobbian West Division
RED CAPS RAISE PENNANT IN TU WEST
Three years have past since the Oxford Red Caps (85-64) raised the division flag over their home park... just like Elnora needed just one victory in the last six games to wrap up the title and secure a spot in the postseason playoffs, Oxford did it themselves, topping the Summerland Sunsets 6-3 behind the solid mound performance of Maury Statler (25-10/3.03), a 25-game winner this season... firing a complete game Stadler struck out seven, walked four, and permitted three runs on six hits... the Red Caps' top guns, Buddy Blackford (.284/41 HR/113 RBI) and Roland Latimer (.248/33 HR/85 RBI) rose to the occasion, too, and belted roundtrippers... with the victory the Luxora Zorros (78-71) were eliminated from the race... with only five games left in the season the Z's cannot catch Oxford and will have to settle for second place if they can outplay the North Hills Hawks (78-71) down-the-stretch.
