Saturday, October 13, 2068 WIN-OR-DIE GAME 7'S IN IPA PLAYOFFS The LaGrange Gators and the Southport Sun Sox are both back in business in the Islandian Pro Alliance playoffs... both clubs staved off elimination with tense triumphs in game six... the Gators eked out a slim 2-1 victory over the Claxton Diamonds in Ruthlandia play, while the Sun Sox dealt the Oxford Red Cap a 5-3 loss in the Tycobbian Union... the teams have split six games so far and are tied 3-3. The best-of-seven series will culminate with games seven... the Gators will host the Diamonds at The Swamp, while the Sun Sox and Red Caps will go at it at Winchester Park in Oxford. 2068 Ruthlandian Union First-Round Series - Game 6 |

Two game sevens! Let's see how LaGrange and Oxford do. You play all season to have this advantage in a game seven.

Sunday, October 14, 2068 SOUTHPORT AND CLAXTON ADVANCE TO IPA TITLE SERIES The time to play your best is when the game is on the line... that's just what the Southport Sun Sox and the Claxton Diamonds did in the Islandian Pro Alliance First-Round playoffs... both clubs rose to the occasion and will now advanced to the second round of the postseason... Southport shocked Oxford 12-1 in the seventh game of the Tycobbian Union series and Claxton whipped LaGrange 4-0 in the Ruthlandian Union. 2068 Tycobbian Union First-Round Series - Game 7 |

The Racers only scored 17 runs in 4 games against the Red Sox... they only batted .243... but they only allowed 9 runs... Red Bluff would not have been swept, if the Rolling Hills pitchers hadn't had such a great series with a 1.29 ERA... during the regular season their ERA was nearly 4.00. Red Bluff pitching is at least as good as Claxton, Forrest City and Southport. The Ruthlandian and Tycobbian Title Series should be humdingers. Last edited by Eugene Church; 05-06-2021 at 09:33 AM. |

Sunday, October 14, 2068 IPA FINAL FOUR: #1 ROLLING HILLS, #3 SOUTHPORT, #7 FOREST CITY, #8 CLAXTON 4 teams are gone, 4 teams have survived... it's the Islandian Pro Alliance Final 4, the Tycobbian Union Title Series and the Ruthlandian Union Title Series... the #1 pick to win the IPA Pro Cup trophy this season is the reigning champion, the highly-touted Rolling Hills Racers... they will take on the #3 rated club, the Southport Sun Sox for the TU title... in the Ruthlandian Union two unsung and unheralded teams, the #7 ranked Forest City Firebirds and the #8 Claxton Diamonds, are matched up in the second round of postseason play... both series will be the best-of-seven games. Rolling Hills had chalked up 6 Pro Cups in its history, the most ever... Southport has snared 4 Pro Cups... Claxton possesses just one Pro Cup title... and Forest City is seeking its first ever... the Racers are trying to repeat again this season... the Sun Sox won Pro Cups in 2065 and 2066... the Diamonds won it in 2064. Action gets underway Monday afternoon with Rolling Hills welcoming Southport at the Midtown Base Ball Grounds and Claxton hosting Forest City at Avalon Stadium... it will be the vaunted Racers' offense pitted against the sound pitching of the Sun Sox in the Tycobbian Union... it will be the mound corps that will be key in the Firebirds and Diamonds series in the Ruthlandian Union. Roman Littrell (13-9/3.00 ERA) is slated to start the opener for Southport... he will be opposed by Durrell MacLeod (18-2/3.08 ERA) for Rolling Hills... Pete Manush (18-11/2.66 ERA) takes the hill for Forest City with Mark Meisner (19-4/1.96 ERA) getting the nod for Claxton. It will be Rolling Hills' offense against the other clubs' standout pitching... the key to victory for the Racers is its mound staff... should they continue to pitch like they did in sweeping Red Bluff, the #2 choice to win the Pro Cup, they will be very tough to beat... if Southport gets a little offense, coupled with its fine hurlers, it has a shot at upending Rolling Hills, especially if the Racers are just average on the hill, and not dominating like they were in the first round against Red Bluff. It's a toss-up between Forest City and Claxton... both have standout pitching... the key will be who can summon some semblance of offense... the Firebirds shut down one of the best attacks in the IPA in round one... their superb staff held Wynnamac to a .227 BA... Claxton upset LaGrange in the first round... the Gators are a solid, good all-around ballclub... LaGrange was rated the 4th best club in the postseason playoffs... the Diamond hurlers were brilliant and they had to be... the Claxton hitters did almost nothing against LaGrange and yet the Diamonds still won the series. TU and RU Title Series Outlook: Both series will probably go seven games... the teams are all evenly matched... give the edge to Rolling Hills and Claxton.

Forest City may have enough offense to whip Claxton's superb pitching staff... the Diamonds are woeful at the plate... it will take real good pitching to defeat the Firebirds. Last edited by Eugene Church; 05-07-2021 at 06:10 PM. |

Tuesday, October 16, 2068 SUN SOX, FIREBIRDS SNATCH TITLE SERIES OPENERS FROM RACERS AND DIAMONDS Four fine clubs are all primed and poised to win the Islandian Pro Alliance overall championship this year and it showed in the opening games of the Tycobbian Union and the Ruthlandian Union Title Series... the Southport Sun Sox won an extra-inning extraganza 5-4 over the Rolling Hills Racers, the current Pro Cup titleholder... and the Forest City Firebirds were victorious over the Claxton Diamonds 4-2 in another dramatic confrontation. 2068 Tycobbian Union Title Series - Game 1 Star of the Game Last edited by Eugene Church; 05-07-2021 at 11:00 PM. |

Wednesday, October 17, 2068 FOREST CITY WINS AGAIN OVER CLAXTON, ROLLING HILLS AND SOUTHPORT SPLIT TWO GAMES Forest City hurlers once again dazzled the Claxton Diamonds 2-0 in the second game of the Ruthlandian Title Series... Rolling Hills also did the same in an 8-1 shellacking of the Southport Sun Sox... the Racers and the Sun Sox split the opening two contests. 2068 Ruthlandian Union Title Series - Game 2 Star of the Game |

Thursday, October 18, 2068 FOREST CITY NEARS SWEEP IN RU, ROLLING HILLS UP 2-1 IN TU Danger time for the Claxton Diamonds and the Southport Sun Sox in the IPA postseason playoffs... game four just might be do-or-die time for both clubs... Forest City has won all three games so far in the Ruthlandian Title Series with Claxton... the Firebirds outlasted the Diamonds 5-4 in game three yesterday afternoon, while Rolling Hills held off Southport 3-2 in the Tycobbian Title Series... it was the Racers second successive victory and put them in front with a two games to one margin. 2068 Tycobbian Union Title Series - Game 3 Last edited by Eugene Church; 05-09-2021 at 06:55 PM. |
