Jim’s five TML Championships ties him with Mike Dickinson and Bryan Sakolsky. It was once again a battle of the league’s strongest pitching staff against one of the top offensive teams in Arkansas. The Browns had previously edged past the “Hitless Wonders” of Coachella Valley in 7 games! The clincher was one of the most dramatic and nail-biting games in TML History, as Sandy Koufax was nearly perfect through 10 innings, fanning 18 and walking none. The only hit was a 3rd inning single by the opposing pitcher Jim Bunning! Arkansas had advanced to their 2nd straight TML World Series by sweeping Perth. Co-Playoff MVPs (for the 2nd straight season) Sandy Koufax (3-2, 1.67, 54K/43IP) and Sam McDowell (2-1, 1.57, 27K/23IP) were again outstanding and nearly unhittable! We ask again: can the Browns’ Dynasty be toppled in 1964?
