4 TEAMS TANGLE IN SUDDEN DEATH
There is no tomorrow for at least two teams in the sudden death playoffs to decide the division winners in the Tycobbian East and West Divisions... two teams will advance to the Pro Cup playoffs and two teams will head home for a winter of gloom and what might have been... the Midway Wolves are at home hosting the Red Bluff Red Sox at Joe Wolf Stadium Monday afternoon for the Tycobbian East title... in the other clash the Denton City Redbirds are on the road in Rolling Hills at the Midtown Base Ball Grounds playing for the Tycobbian West crown.

Midway and Red Bluff split six games in the regular season... likewise Rolling Hills and Denton City... in The Islandian Times preseason poll, Midway was the favorite to capture its fifth consecutive TU East pennant... the Red Sox were ranked number five in the poll... Denton City was the choice in the TU West to win their third flag in five years, while the Reds were also the fifth pick in the poll... the clubs split their season series... Midway and Rolling Hills got the homefield advantage because of run differentials in the season series.

Fred Taylor (15-13/4.01) will get the starting call for Red Bluff and Rob Land (15-10/4.18) will be on the hill for Midway... starters for Denton City and Rolling Hills will have two 20-game winners on the mound... it will be Jayson Mannon (21-9/3.34) for the Redbirds and Tommy Otis (21-14/3.08) for the Reds... none of the clubs have been playing well of late... Midway and Red Bluff were 5-10 in September, while Denton City went 8-7 and Rolling Hills 7-8.
