Round Of 4 Starts Tomorrow In Eastshore And Ozarka
So far the baseball experts have been right on the money. The top four picks in The Islandian Times Pro Cup poll have made it to the IPA Pro Cup Final 4, which is slated to begin tomorrow afternoon. Fans will have a heyday as all of the teams are pretty much even. Each best-of-seven series should be hotly-contested with no clear-cut favorites.

In the Ruthlandian Union upstart Eastshore will host perennial power Far Mountain at Kraft Stadium. The Redhawks are favored because they have won the Pro Cup three times and still have quite a few veterans around that won it in 2011, 2012, and 2013. No other team in the IPA has that many titles. However, the Elegants led the RU this season with a 96-58 record, while Far Mountain chalked up an 89-65 mark. The clubs battled to a draw in the regular season with each winning three games. Eastshore has never been a Pro Cup champion. In fact, the Elegants rarely have made the playoffs. Their last appearance was 13 years ago in 2003. At a glance, Eastshore should be a slight favorite in the Final 4, but most scribes are leaning toward the battle-hardened Redhawks.

It will be Ozarka and Turon in the Tycobbian finals. Games one and two will be at Ellie Ewing Stadium in Ozarka. The Naturals topped the IPA with a 105-49 record and bested the Typhoons three games to two during the season. Turon was 92-62 on the year. They have won two Pro Cups in their history, while the Nats have been finalists twice, but never won. Ozarka is being given the favorite's role, but the Typhoons always play well in the Pro Cup competition and could sneak up on the powerhouse Nats.
