2063 IPA Pro Cup Prediction
7th Place: South Fork Stallions (88-66)
South Fork wins with good pitching and a modest offense... that's how they won the Tycobbian East for the second time in the last four seasons... not likely to go far in the Pro Cup playoffs... but they could surprise, if their starters pitch strong games... anytime a team has at least two dominant starters, they can upset a better team... all it takes is for those two hurlers to have two good games back-to-back... Herm McClanahan and Christopher Hollie fit the bill... the Stallions have a solid bullpen to go with a pretty good starting four... but the offense is lacking... just fair to middling at the plate, but they do hit a homer ever now and then... South Fork depends on veteran All-Stars Bob Purkey and Rudy Maroney to carry the offensive load, but they are not enough... but the Stallions will get a chance to show their stuff right off the bat in the playoffs... they are matched up with Pro Cup favorite and defending IPA champ Rolling Hills in the first round... and it don't get any tougher than that... they last met in the playoffs in 2060... South Fork tested the Racers that year, but lost in 6 games... Rolling Hills captured the Pro Cup that season.
