6th Place
The sixth place
Colfax Blasters last pennant came in '42... latest winning season came in '59... downhill since and near the bottom of the RU West... 15 GB this year... scored pretty good with 743 runs (11th)... good pop with 140 HR (10th)... hit very well with a .277 BA... but not much on the mound overall with a 4.50 ERA (24th)... but there are bright spots in the lineup with youngsters Lanny Waldrep, All-Star first baseman Bralen Josephson, Owen McElwain and Steven Keener... Waldrep won the RU Golden Bat in '59... on the hill there are three blossoming hurlers: starters Blaine Barkins and Quince Blakeley... and closer Karl Kruger... the Blasters stayed within striking distance of first place until they tanked in August and September with a poor 23-32 mark... good things may be on the horizon in Colfax.
