| In this year's Summerset Little League, Mickey and five other players
finished 1st-6th in hitting and made the All-Star tournament team. Each
slugger plays a different position, one right field, and plays on a different
league team, one on the Valley Lumber squad. Given the stats below, can
you hit a grand slam by determining each player's full name, the position
and team for which he plays, and his batting average for the 2003 season?
- The six hitters had averages ranging from .400 up to a league-leading
.500, with no two having the same figure.
- These three players ranked in consecutive higher-to-lower order in the
batting race: Danny, Paige, and the Reliable Insurance team member.
- The Lions Club star isn't the hard-hitting first baseman.
- The shortstop batted .025 higher than Tommy, who averaged .015 higher
than Bonds.
- Cobb, who isn't Danny, and the Reliable Insurance player both say
their favorite Big Leaguer is Alex Rodriguez.
- The catcher among the top six hitters isn't Ott.
- Danny isn't on the Qwik Stop team.
- Cobb's average was .025 higher than the third baseman's, which was .025
higher than that of the Keystone Bank player.
- Young and the batters from the Frank's Diner and the Lions Club teams
tied for the league lead in home runs with six each.
- In the final batting standings, Ruth finished immediately ahead of
Jackie, who isn't Bonds.
- The third baseman, who isn't Tommy, robbed the Frank's Diner star
batter of a hit in the league championship game.
- Andy's average was higher than the left fielder's, which was higher
than Ott's.
- The first baseman batted .050 higher than Bobby, who isn't the Lions
Club team's star player.
- Paige, who isn't Jackie, and the Keystone Bank team member both
are Baltimore Orioles fans.
