2011 Ruthlandian Union East Mid-Season Standings, Team Batting and Team Pitching

Beechwood Has Solid 6-Game Edge At RU East Halfway Mark
Primed by outstanding mound work the Beechwood Bobcats under Bret George have run away with a 6-game edge in the Ruthlandian East at the All-Star break this season. Only Colfax and Volusia have better team ERAs in the league. Second place Elnora has made great strides on the hill, too, and is much improved over last year. Sugar Valley is in the third spot in the standings, 7 games back. Gibby Bobkins has another solid club.

Beechwood will be tough to beat with veteran starters Dek Jumonville (13-2 2.42) and Harry Dye (10-4 2.89) and a top-notch closer in Bubba Lear (6-2 2.75), who has already saved 19 games for the Bobcats. Zoggy Miller's Elnora All-Stars have good pitching in starters Taylor Gibbs (11-3 2.83), Jim Tarzetti (9-3 2.90) and bullpen ace Tom Allen (1-4 1.74), but they are not quite a match for Beechwood on the hill. However, Elnora can hit well and is one of the better fielding clubs around with a .978 FA. The Sugar Valley Rattlers are the best in the IPA with the glove with a .980 FA. Sugar Valley can hit with power, but doesn't have the pitching to compete with Beechwood and Elnora. Charles Darby (9-2 1.91) and Neil Howell (10-6 3.55) are Bobkins' best hurlers.

No other contenders are in sight at mid-season. Wynnamac is fourth, but trails by 12 games, Marston is fifth, 15 games out, Belle Plaine and Cold Creek are tied for sixth and 16 games off the pace and Eastshore is in the division basement and 18 games behind leading Beechwood.

Elnora is been the most-improved ballclub with Cold Creek the most disappointing so far. The Catamounts have finished third the past two years, but have slipped way down to sixth this season.
