The Iowa team may be named the Oinkers but the Twin City Thunderchickens stunk it up just as much as they did.  We both went 62-100 to tie for last place.

Congratulations are very much due to Chuck Lucas (above left) of the Northside Hitmen and Marcus Bunch (above right) of the Moline Upperdeckers.  They both tied too but it was for first place with a 94-68 record. 

The Hitmen were helped by Miggy Cabrera who led the league in HR (50) and rbis (138).  The Upperdeckers boasted Cy Young candidate Clayton Kershaw (22-6, 2.56 ERA) as well as OF Adam Jones (47 HR, 130 rbis).

Both will face off against their playoff opponents at the IAL draft weekend on February 20th.

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as the BBW Boys of Summer APBA League since 2014. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
