RU And TU Final 4 Slated For Tomorrow
The IPA Pro Cup Final 4 Series will begin tomorrow afternoon in Far Mountain and Tuckanarra. In the Ruthlandian Final 4 the Wynnamac Sundowners will challenge the defending Pro Cup champion Far Mountain at Sky High Stadiun in the opener of the best-of-seven series, while Tuckanarra will host the Fairfax Frogs at Central Park Stadium. Both games will start at 1:05 pm in the afternoon. During the regular season Wynnamac took four of six games from the Redhawks and the Blue Jays thumped the Frogs four times out the six they played. Far Mountain has won 3 Pro Cups in its history, the last two years in a row. The Sundowners claimed one title in 2008, while the Frogs and the Blue Jays are still looking for their first Pro Cup trophy.

All four clubs are coming off strong wins and are primed to do battle. Far Mountain is the favorite over Wynnamac and Tucknarra is picked to take Fairfax. Both ballclubs feature good hitting with excellent pitching and are forecast to meet for the Island crown in the Pro Cup Finals. The Redhawks paced the Ruthlandian Union with 95 wins, while Tuckanarra piled up 100 victories in the Tycobbian Union. The Final 4 match-ups are shaping up to be something truly special as all of the participants have fine ballclubs. It wouldn't be big surprise to see the underdogs playing for the title. Wynnamac has fine pitching and Fairfax has a well-rounded team, adept at all aspects of the game.

In the Elite 8 Series Far Mountain mauled St. John in four straight, Wynnamac topped Forest City four games to one, Tuckanarra took care of Denton City and Fairfax upset Turon, both winning in six games. The Frogs were the only underdog to win as the Typhoons were favored to contend with Far Mountain in the Pro Cup finals. Neither the Redhawks, nor the Blue Jays should take their opponents lightly.
