RECORD-The single season HR record was set in the IBL's inaugural season by Dayton's Bill Hill, with 60. Tony Greene of Philadelphia came within 1 in 2021, Curt Whimster hit 57 in 2017 but no one's hit more than 55 since 2012 besides those 2 guys. Bullock is clearly hot as heck, and now 8 HR's away from the record with 11 games to go.

[gehrig38]

A few playoff races remain, the closest being the FL Midwest with Columbus and Green Bay and the FL Wild Card where Dayton, Staten Island and Edmonton are battling for the 3rd spot.

Columbus and Green Bay meet in the season's final 3 games.

Over in the CL it's really just one race left, for the 3rd Wild Card and Baltimore is on the verge of sewing that one up, 3 up with 8 to play.

Both leagues Save leaders are up for grabs, with 5 guys having a real shot.

The CL Stolen Base title has 3 players in it, and the FL ERA race is a battle of 3 guys having dominating seasons.

RJ has sent a new single season K record in the FL, and needs 10 more to tie Bryant Thomas for the IBL record of 332.

Buffalo's Roberto Martinez (veteran readers may remember this guy!) tossed a shutout yesterday, for his 9th win. He's 9-21, the 21 losses ties the single season record.

Stan Hall (ALK) Luis Martinez (SI) and Jesus Romano (NY) all have 6 shutouts, tying the single season record, and all have at least 1 start left.

RJ's 5.14 H/9 is a new record, breaking Brandon Webb's 5.70 in 2028

Jorge Palacios has k'd 12.827 per 9, breaking his 2025 record of 12.750

RJ's .1649 OPP AVG is a new record as well, breaking Brandon Webb's .1788 of 2028.

Chris James (PHI) struck out a record 212th time yesterday, breaking his 2030 record of 211.

ALASKA-The Avalanche beat Edmonton 9-2 behind another Stan Hall CG. He went 9, in a 3-hitter, giving up 2 runs 0 earned, with 9 K's to finish the regular season with an IBL record 28 wins to 4 losses and a 2.06 ERA. He set career highs in W (28) 2nd best ERA of his career (2.06 to 1.60 in 2029) IP (275.2) K's (306) and tied his career high with a WAR of 11.1.

INJURY NEWS-No word on the severity of Green's arm issue.

PHILADELPHIA-Manager Eric Whitehead was let go today, with just 3 days remaining in the regular season. He came over in 2028, coming from Dallas, and the Pats made the playoffs with 91 wins. They've now missed the past 3 years, winning 81, 76 and this year 73 games. He's managed an IBL team since the leagues inception, starting in Buffalo where he managed from 2012-22, making 2 playoff appearances, then in Dallas from 2023-27 where he made 3 straight appearances, before he became the bench coach here in 2028 and took over managing in 2030.

ALASKA-RJ went 8 innings in a 7-3 win over Edmonton, striking out 11 batters to set a new IBL single season strikeout record with 333, besting Bryant Thomas' 332. He finishes the season 21-5 2.33, throwing 251.1 innings and allowing just 143 hits.

DAYTON-Bashir Malik has gone 10-17 in his last 5 games to see his average climb to .399 with just 3 games remaining. Also, Dayton trails Staten Island by 1 game in the race for the final FL Wild Card spot.

GREEN BAY-Trails Columbus by just 1 game, and Columbus is coming into their house for the seasons final 3 games. They're playing for the division title, the loser taking the top WC spot.

[gehrig38]

Las Vegas is an overwhelming favorite to come out of the Coastal. They dominated the Roughriders in the regular season and their rotation is rested and lined up



11-11 in the season series sums up these two. Won't be shocked with either team winning, but I'm hoping for a good series.



Check out Mario Vazquez. That's not a bug, those are his numbers vs Alaska, he was acquired by Alaska late in the year. Clearly Alaska is the HUGE favorite not just in this series, but Staten Island's Luis Martinez and their SP might give the Avalanche a run.



Columbus dominated the Iron Pigs in the regular season. Dave Treffen couldn't make an out. They'll need to keep hitting and shut down playoff veteran Luis Chavez.

[gehrig38]

The Iron Pigs just demolish Howard and the Clippers in Columbus to take the series lead.

Stan Hall wins his IBL record 39th playoff game (in 54 starts) to move to 39-9 2.91.

Pittsburgh destroys Boston and in Las Vegas Houston pulls off a HUGE upset of the 51's, in Las Vegas, to leave, at worst, with a 1-1 split.

[gehrig38]

Columbus evens up Chicago, Alaska gets 9 K's from RJ and 2 HR's from Aguilar to go up 2-0.

Boston ties their series and Vegas gets square with Houston, before heading there.

[gehrig38]

Alaska and Vegas take leads, Alaska a commanding 3-0 lead behind 8.1 shutout innings from Mike Bowman. The Iron Pigs drop game 3 at home.

[gehrig38]

Alaska ends it quickly behind series MVP Stan Hall.

Chicago is a loss away from elimination and T.J. Miller's gem evens that series.

Vegas now in command 3-1.

[gehrig38]

The Clippers now get the unenviable task of Alaska...

Vegas puts Houston away rather easily and Boston's Adam Shirley throws a gem to get them a win away from the LCS.

[gehrig38]

The LCS's are all set...

Alaska vs Columbus in the Frontier

Boston vs Las Vegas in the Coastal..
