Sunday, October 27, 2069 RACERS AHEAD 3 GAMES TO ONE IN IPA PRO CUP FINALS... NEAR 7TH PRO CUP TROPHY Three down and just one more to go and the Rolling Hills Racers will capture their record-setting 7th IPA Pro Cup Trophy... the Racers whipped the Claxton Diamonds 5-3 in the fourth game of the Pro Cup Series... all they need is one more victory... Claxton, on the other hand, has to win all three of the remaining games to prevail. 2069 IPA Pro Cup Series: Game 4 (best-of-seven series) |

Nice! But Claxton has the pitching to make comeback. The Racers must be wary.

Mark Meisner is the best pitcher in the Islandian Pro Alliance.
Russell Krohn and Shelly Grice are solid starters, too. It would not be impossible for these three pitchers to beat Rolling Hills... but it will be hard to do. What makes Rolling Hills better this year is they have better pitching than in the past decade... couple that with the best batting order 1 to 8 in IPA history and you have a very potent ballclub. |

Monday, October 28, 2069 CLAXTON STAYS ALIVE... CRUSHES ROLLING HILLS IN GAME 5 ROUT... CUTS RACERS' LEAD TO 3 GAMES TO 2... SERIES RETURNS TO ROLLING HILLS An 8-run second inning said it all yesterday at Avalon Stadium in Claxton as the hometown Diamonds sparkled with a 13-2 shellacking of the Pro Cup favorite Rolling Hills Racers... the two clubs will head to Rolling Hills for the final two games of the Pro Cup Series... the Diamonds have to win them both to take the overall IPA crown, while the Racers just have to win one of the games. 2069 IPA Pro Cup Series: Game 5 (best-of-seven series) Last edited by Eugene Church; 07-22-2021 at 09:24 PM. |

Tuesday, October 29, 2069 CLAXTON CRUSHES ROLLING HILLS AGAIN, PUSHES THE RACERS TO 7TH-GAME SHOWDOWN In another stunning reversal of fortune, the Claxton Diamonds have again ravaged the mighty Rolling Hills Racers and could be the first team in over 50 years to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the IPA Pro Cup Finals... Claxton crushed Rolling Hills 15-2 yesterday to even the series at three games each... the Racers will host the decisive game at the Midtown Base Ball Grounds. 2069 IPA Pro Cup Series: Game 6 (best-of-seven series) Last edited by Eugene Church; 07-23-2021 at 02:59 PM. |

But game seven is another day... maybe the Racers can suck it up and rebound... the mark of all champions is to forget yesterday and not let it affect today... learn from your mistakes, failures and defeats, but don't dwell on them. I hope they each play their best and the best team wins. Last edited by Eugene Church; 07-23-2021 at 03:07 PM. |

I'm going with Claxton in Game 7. Rolling Hills has to be feeling the pressure, and they can't be all that confident after being blown out 13-2 and 15-2 in successive games. However, as Earl Weaver is credited with saying, "Momentum is only as good as the next day's starter”.

Wednesday, October 30, 2069 MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN... RACERS COP 7TH PRO CUP WITH REMARKABLE LATE-INNING RALLY Wonders never cease in the Islandian Pro Alliance and miracles still happen... Rolling Hills was almost down-and-out and on the verge of defeat in the seventh game of the IPA Pro Cup Series, when they remarkably rebounded with 8 runs in the last 3 innings to shock the Claxton Diamonds 9-8. 2069 IPA Pro Cup Series: Game 7 (best-of-seven series) |
