PRO CUP HERO COBURN WIN PRO CUP MVP
It was a fitting end to a great season for Crystal Lake's Zippy Coburn... not only did he hit the game-winning homer in the fifth and final game of the Pro Cup Series, Coburn also was acclaimed the 2058 Pro Cup Most Valuable Player... Coburn outpolled four of his Skipper teammates for the award... he received 60 of the 185 votes to beat out Jasper Shackleford (40), Mel Brouwer (35), Robin Norborne (25) and Gib Conlan (15)... coming in sixth in The Islandian Times' poll was Arlon's fine outfielder Zeppo Thiel with 10 votes.

The 29-year-old Coburn had a fine postseason with a .284 batting average in 17 games... the 8-year veteran outfielder went 21-for-74 with 6 doubles, 6 homers, 19 RBIs and 14 runs and led Crystal Lake to their third Pro Cup with a 5-game victory over Arlon... in the regular campaign Coburn hit .323 with 27 home runs and 103 RBIs... he also made the Ruthlandian All-Star team for the second time in his career.

Third baseman Shackleford posted some standout numbers, too, with a .386 BA (27-70), 4 HR, 15 RBI and 16 R... center fielder Brouwer hit a skyhigh .411 (30-73) with 3 roundtrippers, 9 ribbies and 16 runs... pitcher Robin Norborne was unbeaten in 4 postseason starts, winding up 3-0 with a fine 2.40 ERA... Conlan hit .310 (18-58) with 3 HR, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored... Thiel was sixth in the voting... in 16 games the left fielder batted .375 (27-72) with 5 homers, 14 RBI and 17 R to lead the Champions to a runner-up spot in the IPA title series.
