What could possibly stop the Bells from officially becoming a dynasty? The best pitching staff in the MOBL perhaps? “We know this is going to be our stiffest challenge yet. I’ve faced some of those guys in the All Star Game and they were extremely tough. We know they can come in and shut us down if we don’t do what we need to,” Bells’ SS Telo Welter said. For how great the Bells offense is, they don’t take that many walks, which is something they are going to want to change as they will definitely want to get to that shaky bullpen. “We have to step up and make sure we close it down when our starters give us the lead,” Terriers’ closer RHP Dan MacCall said. The Terrier offense can be a huge boost for the starters if they can open up some big leads, but that’ll be a tough task.
My prediction – Kalamazoo in 6 – In order for the Terriers to win this series, they will need to have 2 or 3 complete games from their starters and that might not be enough. But I won’t underestimate the importance of excellent starting pitching, so I’ll give the Terriers two wins.
