Gaffney Electric leaves the sponsor rolls, as Jim Gaffney is forced to devote his resources to raising a family. His sons, Steve and Chris, play in the American League in the 1980s. Critchley Candy becomes a sponsor.

Keller Engineering finishes the season with a perfect 15-0 record, the first such mark in league history. The euphoria evaporates quickly, though, as Rotary captures the Town Series in two straight games.
