The Hartsdale Hellcats have a well-balanced ball club... throughout their batting order, they hit for average and have good power... Walt Ivy, Cooter Eldridge and Maury Donatello are solid threats at the plate... Nathan Ivy, Wilson Dunn, Leon Croyle and Al Wakefield are fairly reliable bats, too... it will take them all doing well to top South Fork.
The Hellcats' hurlers looked very impressive against Summerland... Phil Baylor, Tommy Johnson and Nigel Remington all had excellent starts... the so-so bullpen didn't get called on very much in the quick four-game sweep of the weak-hitting Sunsets... South Fork will be a different story... the Hartsdale relievers will have to be better than they were in the regular season to whip the Stallions... none of them stood out... they were all just mediocre at best.
My guess is that South Fork will win the series in seven games... better home-run power... better starting rotation... and maybe, the bullpen is a little bit better than the Hellcats.
