Molly Putts Marauder outfielder Ichiro Suzuki can now officially claim the single season hit record. For the 2005 season, Ichiro collected 208 singles, 26 doubles, 7 triples and 10 homeruns for a total of 251 hits.
Ichiro’s 251 hits eclipsed Al Oliver’s 1981 total of 231 hits which remained the record until this year. He is 6th on the list when he got 224 hits in 1998 with the Marauders.
Ichiro’s 208 singles and 704 at-bats also broke IAL single season records

Maddux not far behind with 298
Roger Clemens has reached the pinnacle of pitching domination. He has won his 300th game. In seven innings against the Aurora Gamblers, he allowed 2 runs and struck out nine to get the milestone win.
Unlike most older players who crawl and limp their way to a significant milestone,
the Rocket is having the best year of his career. Some say the best season by an IAL pitcher ever. In 18 starts, he is 15-1 with a 1.56 ERA. Not only that, he threw a no-hitter in June. He is leading his Chicago Highlanders to another playoff bid.
In addition to leading all IAL pitchers in career wins, Clemens has the all-time mark in strikeouts (4220), games started (653) and innings pitched (4607 2/3). Before the season started, Clemens wasn’t even among the top 15 in career ERA. Through half the season though, he has lowered it to 3.70, good for 13th on the list.
